Reelectbuhari:
as usual yoruba and hausa going for business or investment attractions...is like dead journey....

Dangote is not rich o it's own and always depend on govt to subdue others....
wale tinubu...Oando...a dying company, evading tax....just collecting free money from FG.......just coz former SECOND boss decides to probe them....Bola tinubu had him fired.......


Innoson is competing singly and at sametime bin intimidated by FG and EFCC same as ibeto, capital.....and many more....


is unfortunate that nothing was negotiated in america.....quote me anywhere?

I also noticed there was no Igbo entrepreneur on the entourage. The only Igbo of note there (the meek and scared Emefiele) has been bullied to the back of the crowd while Dangote and Tinubu are in front to represent the face of Nigerian business and corner anything coming to pockets, friends or region!

You see why i say any Igbo supporting this wicked Buhari and APC gov't is a bastard! Any Igbo supporting 'one Nigeria' that's being held together primarily for the benefit of the core muslim north and Hausa/Fulani elite even before others can get a look in....any naive and gullible Igbo that's in support of this lie called Nigeria is a grade one efulefu!

Buhari knows exactly what he's doing, and it's only discerning peeps that can see through his fake smiles and token gestures of 'fairness'!

I keep on telling my people that others are stealing their legacy, birthright and destiny, but they're too blind to see it, or too greedy to care!

IPOB is never and has never been the problem of Ndigbo! Our major problem as a people is the enemy within, like this one that somehow claims to be privy to all that was discussed in the confines of the Oval office!

That's exactly why i ain't gonna buy a ticket!

The worst part is that we will be the ones to bear the shame

Can you imagine! The country that produced the likes of Zik, Soyinka and Chimamanda....is this the best we could find for president?

The worst part is that he's threatening to do another 4 years! God help us!

Thank you my brother, for posting that music video. That's exactly what am talking about. All you see in the video everywhere you look is green. Lush green GRASSES all around. You see what I mean when I say "wooded" areas. Most of those wooded or forested areas that surrounds their suburbs are where the rain water that collects in those holes that go into pipes are emptied out. You did not see any gutter or any exposed or bared BROWN land anywhere while he was cruising around. Something I'll talk about later is what materials they use in building and construction. A close up look at the buildings on that music video will reveal another SHOCKING situation where most nigerian houses are constructed with BLOCK AND CEMENT. Not so much for most if not all buildings in civilsed countries. When I say that nigeria is 200 years behind, I might have understated the situation. They might actually be three hundred years behind most civilsed western countries.

I used to watch a programme (on discovery channel i think it was) EXTREME MAKEOVER..HOME EDITION. What struck me was how they build their houses in the US: they use wood, panels, metal, plywood, etc, instead of the blocks and cement we use in Nigeria. Spyder may know better about the cost implications of the two choices, but i think a house built with blocks and cement would be more expensive.

Even if this is the case, i'd still prefer good old, trusty blocks and cement to flimsy wood and panels. I would imagine (given the ferocious tropical thunderstorms we have in southern Nigeria) that it's not beyond the realms of possibility for such a house built of wood to be blown away in a thunderstorm while i'm tucked up in bed, leaving me shivering, drenched and exposed to the elements! With blocks and cement i can sleep soundly with two eyes closed!

Another thing is FIRE! Watching news reports of forest fires in the US, i notice how easy it is for the fire to quickly take hold and burn down their houses to cinders, esp' in dry places like California. Now if the building were built with blocks and cement, it would be harder and take a much longer time for the fire to spread.

Davido is clinging on to her like he doesn't wanna let go.

Noticed the guy behind him is pulling up his sagging pants!

Watching Teknos' video brought home the enormity of the challenge we face not just in the SE, but Nigeria in general. You hear Governors talk of how they want to build the next Dubai in their states yet they can't get the basics right first!

I'm happy i'm not the only one banging on about the lack of trees and equal lack of a consideration for aesthetics in our cities and towns.

Ofuzo:
Poor soil? What do you mean by poor soil? Igboland does not have any poor soil, regardless of what anybody said in the 1940's. The problem of igbo soil is because we have a tendency to pull out grasses and shrubs that holds the soil together whenever it rains. If you leave the land bare which igbos do a lot, after five hundred years of rainfall, without the grass and shrubs to hold the exposed land together, it will begin to erode. That's why YOU WILL NEVER EVER SEE A BARE LAND ANYWHERE IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES. As a matter of fact, it's ILLEGAL in the US to leave your land bare. You must either cement it or grass it. You can never leave it bare. There's no piece of land anywhere in the US where that piece of land is not designated for something. YOU WILL NEVER SEE ANY BROWN ANYWHERE IN THE U S LIKE YOU SEE ALL OVER NIGERIA. Green grass in developed countries are what they use to prevent erosion. When you drive around the US, all you see is green, mostly green lush grasses. Go and watch tekno miles music video "where" to see what I'm talking about.

The welcoming committee has arrived.

Paperwhite:
See how APC keep exposing themselves for the evil that they are.Karma is really waiting for them.

They really are a nasty lot aren't they?

The most annoying thing about them is how they arrogate the toga of saintliness and moral rectitude to themselves while blaming all the woes of Nigeria on GEJ and PDP!

hisgrace090:
This is why they say we're fantastically currupt.

A student in possession of 8.5million dollars, how come?

Another whistle blower don hammer like that.

Anybody hidding Nigerian money must watch his back no matter where you run to.

He either stole it from his politician dad (who may not even know the money is missing), or he may be helping his dad launder it....maybe they plan to buy a property in London.

Alariiwo:
Same way Northerners will mobilize against any SE candidate running for presidency in future..

Karma has a way of dealing with goats.

I personally would love that to happen. Hopefully, all these 'one Nigeria' deluded Igbo would finally wake up and smell the coffee!

You think the presidency of Nigeria is the be-all-end-all for Ndigbo, like it is with you guys who think of nothing else? You can take your presidency and shove it!

horsepower101:
Actually the real reason I care about the airport its because of the new city and industrial zone attached to the plan. So I am 100% with you on this.

You're 100% in order asking for pics and updates on the ongoing construction works at the airport. Asking for pics and updates doesn't mean you're saying providing captive gas supply to power industrial clusters and constructing new roads are still not important.

The MOU for the airport was signed more than a year ago, and it's a three year project so we have two more years to go. Also, when Obiano was campaigning for a second term they used the airport for campaign, and i remember there's a youtube clip showing a gov't official (during the campaign) conducting an interview against the backdrop of bulldozers clearing and grading the site for the proposed airport. So yes, we all would like to see updates.

We talking married in the African sense (Not church marriage ) - when did Ojukwu start sexing Bianca?

Answer: when she was barely 15 years old

You must be confusing Bianca at 15 with your mama at 15 and the funny business she got up to with the family mechanic who was aged 45 at the time, and hung like a donkey!

Jlow2:
ebonyi state govt after all the tax the collect from miners they re still strugglin, imagine paying 200k for every truck of material .

The one of Ebonyi is strange. They were registering up to 20 billion during the time of the Elechi admin', but for some funny reason, for the past two years now they've not done above 7 billion (if my memory serves me right). I don't know what's going on...whether the Umahi gov't is deliberately under-reporting their figures for whatever reason, or whether the revenue is just being stolen on a massive scale by gov't officials.

uuzba:
Simple

Nigeria started as 3 regions. Go back to those e regions.
-
All this creation of 1,000,000 states is 419. They each wanted to have Federal allocation.
So Stupid were they that they killed off all their local industries and started waiting for Federal allocation.
Today, they have forgotten how to work for their money and will now die of hunger if federal allocation does not get to them.
My grandfather sold palm fruit to the British right here in Nigeria. It was the common trade of our area. Nobody was waiting for Federal anything that time.

All you've stated is valid. However, even with the present unacceptable dispensation there's a certain bar level states shouldn't fall below, and Imo and Abia have fallen below it! Both states have had useless and visionless gov'ts from 1999 to date!

hisgrace090:
Why is abia state so backward despite it position in Nigeria?


Abia is not one of the poorest in Nigeria, but one the poorest in development.


Just look at the anambra giant stride a state almost at per with abia state.

Abia and Imo...don't forget Imo! I'm quite good at sieving the truth from all the hype and spin the otimpkus of the gov'ts in these states churn out on a daily basis, and i think it's very annoying and frustrating that two states that ordinarily should be in the top 8 states economically are lagging behind like this!

Dr M I Opkara, Dee Sam Mbakwe and Dr Akanu Ibiam would be spinning in their graves!

Looks like the paid mercenaries didn't bother to turn up!

Chiwude:
Welldone Spyder! But I think you need to moderate this thread well. They are so many frustrated IPOB members here who have come to use this place to vent their anger. The purpose of this thread is Igbo unity towards forging a rational political and economic front. IPOB member are so emotionally attached to Nnamdi Kanu that they won't mind berating our leaders and insulting anyone against their thoughts. This should not be allowed in this place. The Igbo interest is obviously more bigger than any attachment to Nnamdi Kanu and his followers. And issues we should be discussing in this thread are issues that can push us back to national reckoning.
1. Igbo unity
2. Igbo economic growth
3. Igbo cohesion among brothers from the 10 Igbo domiciled states. (5 South east states, Delta, Rivers and others)
4. Igbo presidency
5. Igbo interest in the 2019 election and beyond.
6. Igbo infrastructural development
7. Key infrastructure i.e. Seaport project
8. Igbo culture and tourism
9. Igbo educational advancement
10. Igbo in diaspora
11. Igbo entrepreneurship and ICT growth
12. Igbo language development
13. Igbo music and films
14. Igbo relationship and handshake with other ethnicities.

These are key issues we should be discussing here. Thanks.

You're talking nonsense! Maybe this is even an alternate moniker for one of those Igbo-hating mischief makers...or else why would you leave the fool that started the argument on this thread (by thinking he can insult Mazi Kanu and by extension all those murdered by the bigot-in-chief) but instead turn to face those responding to his madness?

BabaRamota1980:
Kanu was unfit to lead IPOB. That was one of the mistakes you Igbos made. Fela was an outspoken and rebel person and lashed at military and civilian governments alike but you never hear him trying to lead anyone. Soyinka had always been a rebel but never took position to lead anyone. Fawehinmi used law to do battle with Nigeria but knew his limits.

There are certain things Nigeria is not conducive for....that is championing a cause you dont thoroughly understand, or one you have not mastered to bend and influence effectively.

Kanu was intoxicated. As far as throwing Charly Boy's name here, you are a clown.

You're rambling mate!

Fact of the matter is that the 'owners of Nigeria' were not threatened by all the Yoruba guys you mentioned there because, as you stated, there were limits they were either scared to go beyond or just didn't have the capacity for! Their own 'agitation' started and ended at making mouth, or erroneously thinking that they could get some form of justice from the rigged Nigerian judicial set-up in order to set their people free! The owners of Nigeria looked on in amusement, safe in the knowledge that these guys can only make mouth! And when it looked like they were starting to get a bit too big for their boots, the Oligarchs then conspired to teach them a bitter lesson by using the same rigged judicial system to lock them up! Fela and Fawehinmi know what i'm on about.

You talk of Nigeria not being 'conducive' for certain things. That's the talk of a lily-livered, yellow-bellied coward! If Britain had waited for a 'conducive' moment would they have been able to repel Hitlers advance at Dunkirk? If South Africans had waited for a 'conducive' moment would they have been able to defeat apartheid? If Barack Obama had waited for a 'conducive' moment would he ever have been president of the US? You see Nigeria with all its purported potentials still groping in the dark (and on the verge of imminent collapse) while countries and city states we were better than in the 60s are forging ahead and breaking into the exclusive 1st world club...you see all this, and you think we can still afford a couple more decades to faff about because Nigeria is not yet 'conducive' to be asked a few hard questions. Just when will the situation be 'conducive'...is it when the 'owners of Nigeria' say so?

Even if Jesus Christ were to come down from heaven and champion the cause for either structural change or dissolution of Nigeria as we know it, something tells me that guys like you will walk up to him and say, "hang on a minute...just what do you think you're playing at mister....better mind your bizness and go back to heaven as Nigeria is not yet 'conducive' for all this your radical ideas"! Sacrilegious i know, but i've come to expect such from you lot!

I tire for una!

Nigerian youths are not really sure of what they want. They're more like sheep....easily led by moneybags and the political and clerical elite. They face whichever side their bread is buttered.

Of course there are exceptions to this norm, but they're quite negligible to be able to make much of a difference.

Nice one! But i think it's best we keep the champagne on ice until we see appreciable progress on the project. We've seen many false dawns with so many big-ticket projects in the South East that some measure of circumspection is called for at this point.

Anyone with updates on the airport being constructed? A year has now gone in the three years duration given, so we should start seeing something on ground by now!

horsepower101:
Hey we need to get something clear. The 30 % share of the FGN for The Niger bridge project was already funded by the Jonathan's administration.
Buhari came in 3 years ago and stopped it. But now he wants igbos to support his reelection, he restarted some works.

The fact that some people are already thankful to him shows how easy it is to mess with people's reasonings.

The Niger bridge is a political tool just like Igbo presidency.

Thank you. That guy was starting to get on my nerves!

asha80:
then the political leaders in the eastern region were largely the most educated and enlightened folks then(in fact then lots of the eastern intelligensia were in govt)..can't compare then to now.

Now what we have are mainly touts and thugs as godfathers who bankroll and decide who will or won't win elections. Sadly, the people they prop up or bring forward as the anointed candidate are, more often than not, not the best choice. The chosen one is just the one the godfathers are most comfortable with, who they think can easily be manipulated, who can give them influence when decisions are being made, and one who can guarantee them a 'return on their investment' if you know whara mean!

SalamRushdie:
If any Hausa man tries to stop your legitimate protest against the evil leader resist them firmly as there is no Fulani army to come to their rescue in America

I'll even go further to say 'go up to the mofo concerned and punch his lights out'! In foreign land without their dagger and fulani army to back them up, they're weak as water!

Dino preparing to release new album after defeating the A.P.Cheat!

If i know Dino well, as we speak he's preparing the song on his hospital bed. It will be a chart topper for sure!

Bodies are being pilled up on to trucks for burial in mass graves. Whole villages and hamlets are being ransacked and sacked. Rev Frs are being shot together with their flock as they prepare for mass. Expatriate workers and Nigerians are being kidnapped for ransome. All this is happening before our very eyes, yet this man is going all over America, telling them that not only is Nigeria safe and open for business, but that Nigerians get tucked-in in bed each night and within seconds are sound asleep, snoring and smiling contently as they dream sweet dreams....all is well with the world!

He's hoping APC will rig it for him in 2019....kinda like they tried to do in Bayelsa, and succeeded doing in Imo and Rivers (senatorial)!

These people have a lot of cheek, thinking they're in with a chance in the SE and SS come 2019! Of course Edo state is a different kettle of fish altogether.....that state has been fully arewanized and captured!
