The road works at the main entrance gate ........

Would these road works be completed anytime this century? Just asking!

Digitron:
ikem - Ehamufu road

The bridge looks solid and aesthetically good too!

What's the name of the contractor? So we can recommend them to some states in the South East that usually have inexperienced contractors execute substandard and ugly projects!

How IPOB don't know that these lies are the work of Buhari and his agents of misinformation to breed suspicion and confusion among them beats my imagination.

I am waiting for IPOB people that will believe this crap.

Of course i know it's the handwork of Buhari/APC/fulani-overlord minions! They just found a greedy, willing tool in this fool!

inyamuri flat.head jews won't like this!

Forget 'inyamuri flat.head jews' for a moment.....what are YOUR sentiments on the matter? You happy...if so, why?

See fools who on a normal day hate anything Igbo...now rejoicing b'cos some greedy biatch that can do anything for money has done a 'judas' on IPOB!

One would have thought these scum would be supportive of IPOB so they can see the back of the Igbos they hate and keep the bloody country for themselves!

It’s very frustrating dealing with these illegal crossers. I almost killed a woman last Christmas period who literally jumped to the road when I was driving. She looked at me as if I was the wrong person.

But to be fair, there is no pedestrian bridge in that area. There needs to be about 4 or more. You can’t blame the people if the critical infrastructure is not there. If they cannot put a bridge, then they should install a red light to slow down traffic for pedestrians.

Or they could think of building a subway. The Brits did it decades ago in Enugu, so i don't see why we can't do it now.

Those overhead bridges can be so unsightly, and tend to take away from the sweeping panoramic views of the wide expressway.

Let's look at Awka, the speed of the city development here is expected. We have always known that this state is loaded and will rise to be one of the best cities in Africa.

Spyder, bros you're sounding a tad patronising!

This may hurt some Anambra 'supremacists' (that's if they're actually from Anambra), but i'm yet to see what is currently on ground or being done presently that would lend credence to your assertion that Awka is poised to be 'one of the best cities in Africa'! Let's stop fooling ourselves and the gov't or else they would relax and actually think they're doing enough!

What is giving one excitement about Anambra as a whole is mainly private enterprise and effort; state gov't needs to up their game, while the presence of the federal gov't is almost completely none-existent!

Is the state gov't doing anything? Sure they are: especially with regard to bringing order, sanity and cleanliness to the environment of Onitsha and Awka; security; and agriculture. But to say you're satisfied that Awka is going to be one of the best cities in Africa....from what i see on ground presently, i beg to differ!

Ebonyi state again kicking against restructuring.

Tomorrow the same people will be protesting for Biafra...

Now if you don't want to be in the same region with Anambra and Imo, why would you want to be in the same country with them?

Well, i think they're entitled to speak their mind and express any fears they may have. This doesn't mean they're any less Igbo than anyone else. Fact of the matter is that pre-independence, certain areas of the Eastern Region felt (either wrongly or rightly) that they were not seen as equal partners in governance, and may have equally felt they didn't measure up socially and economically with the rest!

No doubt as a region or country that was just beginning self-governance, these issues would have arisen, and i'm sure that had we been left to get on with things without that useless Nzeogwu coup (or any other coup that may have come given that coups were fashionable at the time), that grievances and issues of exclusion would have been addressed over time!

limeta:
Back to futa jallon be that

For where! They're there for the long-haul!

Most of these places in the middle-belt the Fulani are wanting to claim they're indigenous to...i doubt there were any Fulani there about 100 years ago!

These people are patient, sneaky,devious, calculating and cunning! If you're stupid enough to welcome them as visitors....before you know it they're dragging ownership of your own land with you! And seeing as they're the 'owners of Nigeria', they'd always be at an advantage!

amaniro:
I love this man.




only truthful northerner




Sarki see ya brother

They would have called him a 'IPOD yooth', just that he's old enough to be their grandfather, so they'll go with 'IPOD miscreant'!

Alejoc:
DSS may come after you.....

DSS no dey look face?

Juliusmalema:
desist from spreading hate.

You know exactly what you're doing! I doubt you're Igbo!

What a 'dear John'!

It's dripping with bile!!

Musical interlude!

Mr Ps discovery, Fabian Okike (AKA: Singah) with this latino flavoured song. Just discovered him!

Nice change from all the Tekno/Davido type of sound we've been hearing lately! Use your headphones to get the real experience!

I am totally with you on this. Why is the official federal government car or state governments not innoson?

But when PAN had a kaduna Assembly plant, they made sure all the government agencies drove Peugeot.

IBETO has come back and trust me, he will give dangote a run for his money with the investments he is currently making.

The problem with we Ndigbo is that we're too 'smart' for our own good! All this is happening to us because we've lost that pan-Igbo spirit/consciousness we had up to the early 70s

spyder880:
Why is it that this house has remained uncompleted?

Projects in Nigeria generally suffer this fate...and more so if said project is a federal one located in the South East!

MENELIK11:
Osu, Awolowo was a legal practioner and not a soldier. Meanwhile the "Coward One" that ran 440 to Abidjan was a trained soldier who couldn't wait for a fellow soldier (Obasanjo) when he crossed the Niger to Anamra, to make matter worse, that is the home place of the Chief Osu, Emeka "Ussain Bolt" Ojukwu. Stop making ridiculous comparison

Ikemba was the leader of his people, and Awo was the leader of his people....both capable of making decisions (whether good or bad) that affected the fortunes and lives of the people they led! Their 'professions' is besides the point!

Awo was leader of the Yoruba race to the extent that he could declare that if by omission or commission the Igbo were allowed to leave Nigeria, that the Yoruba wouldn't bother staying behind to discover just how miserable life with the fulani could be without the Igbos around....they were gonna leave as well! A man that could make such a statement without any prominent Yoruba challenging him was definitely the de-facto Yoruba leader....soldier or not! So i don't get where you're going with this 'soldier', 'lawyer' comment!

gidgiddy:
The person you call chest beater fought for 3 years before stealing women's cloth to run to Abidjan. Your sophiscated slowpoke called Awolowo ran to hide under Gowons skirt because he couldn't even fight for 3 minutes.

Where did you get this 'stealing women's cloth to run to Abidjan' story from? Ikemba handed over to Philip Effiong and got on a flight to Abidjan, so where did you get your story from....or are you swallowing the lie Igbo haters have been spreading just to try and diminish Ikembas' achievements and bring him down to the level of their two-faced, genocidal god?

Poetic justice!

This has got to be a wind up!

dominique:
For how long are they going to use this bridge as a tool for campaign?

How long is a piece of string?

Ttipsy:
looks like elsewhere. so beautiful

This is what we're talking about! When awarding or executing a contract, do it properly and don't cut corners because you feel either no one cares or will notice (b'cos it's a third world country), or because you want to make illicit gain!

See how we're all happy looking at those pics of Milken Hill? Those driving on it will even be happier as they enjoy the smooth road and scenic views!

spyder880:
More to come, meanwhile, join me for an early dinner. Abakaliki rice with fish stew, and of course Aqua Rapha water

Spyder, you need to include fruits on that table for a complete picture!

kocvalour:
never again shall Nigeria be governed by apc

we must make sure that buhari will never win anything come 2019

It's their fuc'king pretence, fake claims of integrity and how they always wear that holier-than-thou look that i can't stand!

Everfrank:
You gather all those people and won't give them transport. Politics and money are inseparable.

Did anyone give 'transport' to the huge throngs of people that came to listen to Mazi Kanu?

otokx:
Many did not believe that the story was false. It is a pity that Miyetti Allah have now become a law unto themselves in Nigeria. This kind of thing can never happen in Ghana.

If you're from Ghana, just thank your lucky stars the Brits didn't foist a fulani hegemony on you guys before they left like they did with us!

GoTV:
What is the big deal in surrendering lands to save lives? I think this is the best deal we can get from this government if we want this crisis to end. As Christians, the Bible encourages us to be our brothers keeper and love our neighbors as ourselves. Now it's time to practice what we preach. Let's allow the Fulani Herdsmen to have lands and we will enjoy peace. Beef and milk will also be cheaper if cattle rearing is in every community.

Please tell me you're being sarcastic?

aribisala0:
So that is 17 year old Macron?


Kontinu

The OP made a mistake. Macron was here 15 years ago not 23.

What Nigeria needs (which sadly we all know wouldn't happen) is for a neutral party like what you suggested to come and take over governance for a given period (say a decade). During this time, their remit would include purging us of our unbridled greed, tribalism and misplaced religiousity. They would equally be charged during this intervening period to restructure the country back to its pre-1966 settings!

I would have been a bit apprehensive had it been its the Great Britain of the period up to the 70s that would be asked to do this...those ones had a superior/imperialist mindset towards blacks! But the GB of today is much more liberal and fair-minded.

If wishes were horses!

Jokerman:
This is bad.....

.....this is dangerous!

Did you mention that at some point he will go AWOL due to ill health?

horsepower101:
This was very informative. Now I finally understand how the 1914 amalgamation was done and the reasoning behind it.

It was sort of a cooperation between the imperialists from the south and their proxies from the north!

The one that surprised me was the revelation that Shell had a camp in Owerri decades before the much claimed first discovery of oil at Oloibiri in 1956! What were they doing there for that long period of time? Maybe they had a love affair with the mosquitoes!
