I know the kind of estate i'll see and i'd be excited. All these i'm seeing is just more of the same mediocre, unserviced estates of which there are many all over the SE. Only a few estates in Nigeria meet world-class standards, and they're mainly found in Lagos, Abuja and maybe Port Harcourt!

With the MOUs signed by Obiano, was hoping to see some in Anambra as well. Anyway, fingers are still crossed as those ones are work in progress....even if they seem to be taking forever to deliver.

muykem:
Buhari is absolutely correct and sincere. We need to change our mentality and improve ourselves. You all know the truth, how many of you wrote WAEC, GCE, UME on your own?

Listen, there's no body of people that would be put through what our youth have been put through and not have issues!

Given the circumstances, i'd even argue the Nigerian youth has tried, holding their heads above the water the way they have. Their major problem has been the so called adults/leaders we've had since independence, of which Buhari is among and a major participant.

They ran at the right time unlike the Cameroonian athletes that couldn't even wait to see if they will win a medal. If you must run, wait till the climax of the show.

Exactly! Especially if you win a gold medal. I'd probably have done the same if i was in their shoes

mrintellectual:
Oya tell us what to do.

I have been tired of this country since 2009.

The question of what we do was tackled in my initial post.

The key thing is to put pressure on these bloody, nuisance 'owners of Nigeria' by supporting IPOB. As much as i personally hate Nigeria, i'm sure people of my leaning are ready to accept a middle-ground of resetting the polity to pre-66 settings (of course with some modifications to reflect present day geo-political realities).

Notice how they were panicking and there was talk of restructuring when Mazi Kanu held their feet to the fire. They only feel strong knowing the rest of us can't speak with one voice because of saboteurs and judases among us who are quite prepared to sell their mama just to protect the privileged positions the present status-quo accords on them.

Serves una 'one Nigeria' mofos right!

We know the right thing to do that could reset the Nigerian polity back to pre 1966 settings, but we bury our heads in the sand hoping our problems will go away through fasting and prayer, thereby enabling us to compete with the likes of Singapore, South korea and Japan....countries we were either better than in 1960, or neck-and-neck with in development.

The Nigeria negotiated by Zik, Awo and the Sadauna in 1960 was the barest minimum sensible 'one Nigerianists' could have offered Mazi Kanu (and i'm sure he could have been convinced to accept this offer by Ndigbo), but instead you cheered on as the Fulani military invaded his home and murdered him and his parents.

As things stand now, you all have no choice but to bend over and get royally shafted by these towel heads as they play you moro'ns against each other!

They don't call him the commonsense senator for nothing. After seeing what happened in the Rivers State house of assembly some years back when some hapless honourable ended up in A&E after his head was bashed in by a mace wielding thug, Senator Bruce must have felt it wise not to interfere this time around. He doesn't want too ruin his good looks.

Good call!

COMING FROM A NON IGBO MAN FROM EDO.


THAT IS A VERY TRIBALISTIC HATE SPEECH.


IMAGINE A MAN FROM CALABAR SAYING YORUBA ARE AS DISUNITED AS THE YOUTH.


USELESS BIGGOT!

Don't mind the idiot! Anybody that wants to get a mention in the dailies finds it convenient to just say a few lies against Ndigbo and he'd be cheered on by the usual hate mob that despise, suspect and fear Ndigbo in equal measure.

So if they ask Mr Momoh if he feels Ndigbo of today have equal standing in the Nigerian Army with say the Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba he'd say yes? If they ask him if the SE is treated as fairly as other region in the country he'd say yes?

So going to meet one chancer of a traditional ruler who demanded money from him to vote for whoever now means that Ndigbo vote for the highest bidder? Did Ndigbo elect said traditional ruler to speak for us?

I suppose he feels that if a few traditional rulers of Igbo extraction are bribed then Ndigbo will troop out in their numbers and vote for whomsoever they're directed to vote for....even APC!

muykem:
You are very funny with your analysis. A man without integrity will not only steal your money but also find a way to eliminate you.

That rules Buhari out then!

I'm sure a large proportion of Nigerians arrested abroad are victims of a set up. If the victim were Igbo, and the wicked policeman succeeded in planting the gun, and going on to either arrest or shoot him dead, you can imagine the kind of responses the story would receive on this forum.

asha80:
I hear boys are complaining though say money no dey reach them oo as per Nigerian style

It's a problem we have with governance and politics in Nigeria as a whole....especially in the oil rich Niger Delta states. If the Governor doesn't share money, then he's got to be a greedy, stingy muthafucker that wants to chop alone!

This is why some Governors are forced to play along and share money directly, or under the guise of providing expensive cars for greedy local Chiefs, or under the guise of providing funds for community projects.

spyder880:
As the rainy season sets in, I only hope they will not abandon the various road projects going on in Enugu state.

This road had better be unfinished oh!

I don't know why there's little attempt to make projects (especially roads) look pleasing to the eye after construction. All most Governors are concerned about is just to tick the box that says they've provided road in an area no matter how ugly or substandard the road looks, so they can brag that they've delivered 'dividends of democracy'!

bolluntin:
was there anything like traffic congestion b4 he constructed the bridge

Where in my post did i state there was traffic congestion before the flyover was constructed?

Any reason why we don't have Abia and Ebonyi threads like we have for Imo, Enugu and Anambra? It's like the citizens of these states don't care much for showcasing their states and challenging their state gov'ts where and when necessary like the other three do.

"In conclusion, MURIC demands the withdrawal of Jonathan’s N100 note from circulation and the reinstatement of Arabic Ajami on N200, N500 and N1,000 denominations.
We affirm that Jonathan’s N100 note was a scam. We therefore call for a probe. We warn against any attempt by any future Nigerian leader to remove Arabic Ajami from the few remaining denominations.
We will not hesitate to deploy every constitutional means at our disposal to stop such an attempt now or in future."

What kinds of shithole people do Nigeria have bikonu This MURIC have forgotten that Nigeria is not an Islamic State.
See the archaic dress combination of the fanatic.Divide this country & let him join the northern caliphate.Fool!

This is why Nigeria isn't progressing. Other serious countries are making giant strides in technology, churning out multi billion dollars tech industries and lifting more and more of their citizens out of poverty; and then there's us, Nigeria, a country where some don't mind to scatter everything if their precious arabic inscription is not returned back to the 100 naira bill where they feel it rightly belongs!

Nice to see we've got our priorities in order.

universe123:
sorry, I can't understand what you are saying

Ignore him. Are those nice hotels actually in Nsukka?

Igboid:
Spyder88 and co, please if you have more pics, please share them here.

For the rest of genuine Ndiigbo here, let's stop feeding the trolls, don't quote or reply their posts, let's just ignore them, until they all fizzle out, and this thread lives on.

Enugu is the pride of Igboland. The capital of Igboland.
Ojukwu had house in Enugu, Akunyili do, Ohamadike ( Umeh) do, Okocha do.
Enugu is the center of excellence in Igboland, it's like the cord that holds us together, at Enugu, we all lose our clan identities, and just become 042 people.
The Phynos( Anambra) , the Flavours( Anambra) , the Wizboys(Anioma- Ika) , etc all rep Enugu, and carry her everywhere.

Enugu is the place of unity for Ndiigbo.
When you see a moniker relentlessly attacking and denigrating Enugu people and Enugu achievements , then it's tell tale sign of the impostor identity of the character.

You didn't include my boy Tekno!

Igboid:
All these non Igbo monikers, who had been impostors, impersonating Ndi Anambra here. This Enugu thread is the most progressive Igbo unity thread in NL and we(Real Igbos) are allowing impostors serving as fifth columnists scatter this thread.

Please, let's be wise, from now onwards, let's ignore any posts from these impostors, don't give them the attention they crave for, and please, can we get the honourable Mod to clean this thread for us, and remove posts from these fifth columnists here?

I understand their game plan very well. There are certain monikers, when i see their post i just scroll down to the next, not bothering to read it. Some of them toerags (that's if it's not just one or two people operating all these monikers) may understand a bit of Igbo but they're definitely not Igbo. When someone is seen engaging them in a back-and-forth argument, and derailing the thread in the process, better believe such a 'person' is probably one of their alternate monikers.

Why do they do it i hear you ask? Well, you have to understand that the hatred towards Ndigbo in Nigeria is real, and Igbo unity and progress scares the h'ell out of them, hence they go out of their way to try and cause divisions among us....it's all in a bid to protect their ATM that is 'one Nigeria'.

Some of us are either too dumb, too greedy or just don't care about the the progress and unity of Ndigbo; and it's such a people that are our weakest link, and easily susceptible to being bribed to either keep quiet when injustice is meted out on us, or they can easily be bought to help the enemies machinations against us. Ever wondered why it was so easy for Buhari and his Fulani army to come into the heart of Igboland and murder/kidnap one of our prominent sons and his parents, and equally kill many other of our kinsfolk without anything happening?

Nice one Fayose! The flyover looks sexy, and will help improve traffic flow in the area, not to mention the skyline of Ado-Ekiti!

achi4u:
Bros you have tried a lot just that this superiority complex in Igbo DNA won't allow such summit to hold.
Looking at SE map in Nigeria map, Igbo land is the smallest compare to other regions yet we have too many divisions already within.

I've noticed there's this penchant among our political elite in the SE to closely guard their spheres of influence on a state level, hence they're reluctant to delegate or relinquish any powers to say a centrally-focused and pan-Igbo development agency.

When you hear of this their so called SE governors meeting, it's just to play to the gallery as it were....basically, just to fulfill all righteousness. Nothing tangible ever comes out of these useless meetings!

You Igbos like deceiving yourselves.. who is Yul?

Do you know how popular SR is and what PDP faced in Sowore's hands.

Like the OP rightly said, Sowore's chances are very high at the moment

But of course you would say that wouldn't you?

You see the likes of Dr Kingsley Muoghalu equally in the running, an erudite and accomplished individual, yet you completely blank him b'cos he doesn't fit into your criteria of who should or shouldn't be allowed to be President of Nigeria.

Nice one!

Westbestside:
Some pained Lagos is no man's or Lagos is biniland chanters will soon come here with their cries.

Dude, nobody is pained. In fact, i personally hope it comes to fruition as it would hopefully spur the visionless South East Governors to think of a similar thing with AIIA Enugu.

What Ndigbo like myself hate is the duplicitous nature of some of you from that region! The South West Governors asking to be concessioned the Murtala Airport amounts to putting the cart before the horse don't you think? You want to eat your cake and still have it! The right thing to do would be to first restructure the polity let everyone control their resources and answer their papa name, and then you can do whatever you like with anything in your own region!

Afam4eva:
I just came across the Kano thread https://www.nairaland.com/4454028/kano-night-video-photos and this is exactly what i was talking about when i said that we needed too step up our game. Enugu might have more residential estates than Kano (i don't know) but what we lack is that striking thing that makes Enugu a city to behold. What is that thing that when people come into Enugu, they say WOW. The only city in Igboland that has anything close to that is Owerri. We can't remain an average city. We need to push the limits and create infrastructures for the future and not limited by the past.

Part of the reason is the dearth in bold and visionary leadership in the South East. And when our Governors do have bold ideas, it either normally ends up on the drawing board or if executed at all, the finishing is poor b'cos they don't use a good contractor or spend enough money to guarantee a good job.

Governors like Rochas seems to have a good vision.....for Owerri at least, but i've noticed the finishing and quality of many (not all) of the contracts delivered aren't up to world-class standards! Though in fairness to Rochas, he seems to have improved on the quality of jobs delivered lately.

I'm impressed with what Dave Umahi is doing thus far in Ebonyi. He's another Governor with a grand vision for his state, and he's delivering on it satisfactorily....thus far that is!

The major reason why states in the SE struggle to initiate and deliver on big ticket projects is b'cos of the poor amounts we receive from Abuja in relation to other states like Kano. Also, there seems to be a lot of leakage in IGR collection for states in the SE: a state like Anambra for instance should be posting nothing less than 4 billion naira a month as IGR, ditto Abia. But presently both states are doing less than a half of this. I reckon what Anambra has lost through ineffective and inefficient revenue collection techniques since 1999 is over a billion dollars.

As much as i don't like him, i'll have to admit that the present Abia Governor is doing something regarding the roads in Aba. And i've been impressed by the quality of job done as well. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and it takes a lot to impress me esp' when it comes to governance in the SE!

nwaanambra1:
EOD!

he is not the kind of man to cowed by anyone! the fact that he has not spoken since the military invasion of his family house is a clear pointer to the the truth about his death.

He was murdered in cold blood by the evil buhari fulani terrorist soldiers - they will all pay for it one day.

And to think they're now trying to woo Igbo voters to support that hitler for a second term! It's not them i blame, i blame the gullible Igbo scum in that evil party that are giving their efforts some semblance of legitimacy. The situation is even more dire when you recollect how this man has treated us like 'inconsequential scum'!

If indeed Ohaneze and the SE governors are aware that Buhari has murdered Nnamdi Kanu, and they're keeping quiet about it to protect their privileged positions, then nothing short of an insurrection is needed to get rid of the traitors, saboteurs and Judases within!

ameh99:
Those Ipods who gave Nnamdi Kanu all their life savings right now...

Why so happy? Some nonentity (most likely paid by the same forces holding us all hostage in 'one Nigeria') comes out of nowhere and declares that Biafra is dead, and you get so excited about it! Did those who contributed and still contribute to the Biafran cause ask for your opinion on the matter? Since when did what they do with their hard earned money become any of your business?

Do deceitful peeps like you feel you can hold a people down forever and not expect them to fight back?

Abagworo:
Impressive. Nowhere in Southeast or South-south or North Central or North East or Southwest(besides Lagos) is up to this standard in road infrastructure courtesy State government. Kano is rich and has been producing ambitious Governors.

You're standing on thin ice mate! Why not enjoy the pics/video and leave South East out of you dic'k measuring assessment?

Doublecheck:
I concur with this post, however Chino must tone down Igbo bu ofu. His hate for any SE state outside Anambra is disturbing, notice he does not do same if its SW or Northerners insulting Anambra, that's why many question his Ethnicity.

That said Igbo's are their own problem see all the hate ofodirinwa was spitting towards most economical SE cities that put Igboland on the map, and to think that he even got likes and some cheered him on his even more worrisome.

Those likes were probably from non Igbos quite happy to see the bickering between supposed brothers. They love to see divisions among us.

prolog2:
You don't seem to get the point about the map posting.
I am not asking you to just post any fake map which makes the same claim as you.
I am asking you to post a pre-colonial map (made before colonisation) dated and accompagnied with the name of the autor.
Also any such map would be coming from a well known and established european library which would have authentified it.

It was a fraudulent act by the opposition and corrupt nigerians to disrupt this present government to get busy outside their mandate and the plan failed but partially successful as many of this thieves and unpatriotic Nigerians are roaming freely in the country now and even planning to take over government in 2019. Biafra is dead and has been in the mortuary for too long, this government has sent it to the burial ground where it would be committed to mother earth for eternity. May the soul rest in peace Amen.

So in your mind the agitation for Biafra started after your man Buhari was elected?

I can tell you for nothing that Buharis' bigotry, blood-stained hands, nepotism and blatant incompetence won more souls to the Biafran cause, your truly inclusive.
