Hahahahah

So you think say na canoe dey carry container.

And even if you achieve that, you will through another country which is south south and southwest meaning you are still landlocked!

South south and southwest can wake up tomorrow and sanction you. We can declare a no flight zone on you.
We will control your military and economic decisions

North knows the impact of being landlocked and that’s why they are not calling for division. I am only surprised the southeast is filled with illiterates and don’t know what they are asking for

Blocking it, is a declaration of war based on international laws, Egypt tried it on Israel by blocking red sea, didn't end well for them and won't for Nigeria, if Igbos eventually forms a separate country.

The west should come out and fight and leave Nigeria out of it, they are the ones benefiting from her resources.

If she's not a science student then I don't rate her intelligence .
Modified
She's a science student and that means she's truly brilliant.
Art students are dull and I don't regard them academically

Many art students are more intelligent than science students, though any intelligent person will surely be interested in one or more field/topics in science or philosophy, you talk like someone that have little to no experience in life.

Intelligence= cognition and ability to connect different concept.

Sir Isaac Newton was even an art student then. Yet his scientific achievement was greatest at the time.

You don't need to be told that processed foods are not the best for your health.

Rubbiish:

You are just deceiving yourself
US dollar is rooted in innovation, how many countries do u think can do without USA products? Not in the next hundred of years...

Innovation is not peculiar to a single country or race, it comes from all parts of the world.

Might be proven to be real with new discoveries, as for now, the current understanding of the universe is that it's not real, meaning it's a simulation, due to the arrow of time, existence of entropy,symmetry breaking etc.

iLoveYouToo:
Things in Nigeria are expensive because there are little to no proper price control mechanisms. Cartels just fix whatever price they want and the consumers can either pay or fvck off.

There are cartels everywhere in the name of ‘unions’ - fish sellers, meat sellers, beef sellers, vegetable sellers etc. All sorts of unions exist

In some markets, no commodity has a fixed acceptable price, they just tell you an amount and expect you to bargain, MADNESS


Economic principles are dead to the Nigerian market

Exactly, like the period of estimated electricity bill, many Nigerians are naturally evil, the major factor hindering the progress of Nigeria.

Funkyswagzz:


How the british was able to bring us together and rule us for several years yet we cant rule ourselves baffles me and it keeps getting worse.

Wickedness and insincerity is the reason, Nigerians don't want things to be good, provided it's affecting the Igbos, While for the Igbos especially the elite it's all about personal benefit, If Nigerians want things to be good with the resources available it will just happen spontaneously.

princejude:
This Chinese illegal mining is exactly what Almustapha was saying at brekete family tv the other day. He said that Chinese miners are paying boko haram to mine at borno state. He even mentioned one expensive mineral called CALIFORNIUM these Chinese were taking away from borno state. Nigeria is richly blessed with a lot of natural resources but our major problem is how to manage them. Since the discovery of oil in Nigeria,no one cares about other mineral resources.

People like that man are also part of the problem facing Nigeria, little knowledge at times is worst than ignorance. Californium is synthetic element and can not be mined from earth crust.

Patrioticman007:


It can't be worse than the Christo Judeo Slave Masters & Colonialist. Who gave black race bibles in one hand and took away Africans as slaves with her scares resources with the other hand, kindly read Walter Rodney how Europe under developed Africa for in-depth analysis. Chinko still dey learn work, where Kiriyo dey.

Sure, the reason Chinese are better is that it's the locals that enable them, top politicians and elites, so will automatically end if the people decides to stop, but westerners have no conscience they can even attack the whole country from top to bottom if you refuse them entry. Chinese are just taking advantage of stupidity in Nigeria.
I will continue to say it, corruption is not the reason Nigeria is underdeveloped but wickedness and insincerity, the heart of man is evil but the heart of Nigerians is extremely evil.

rinzylee:



Yeah certainly beyond titles.


When you live in a very developed clime, you would definitely appreciate the real meaning of PhD.

Even technology is driven by research and experiments.


Education is a big round ball that may through a school or nay.

You are contradicting yourself,
The problem with Nigeria is pure lack of proper understanding, shallow mentality and copy copy altitude.
Copying without thinking, you mention developed countries, do we have the same problem with them, of course no, then why do we copy them at all cost, copy at the cost of destroying our society, the result is that lectures have become demigods, sexual exploitation, empty headed graduate, electrical engineers that doesn't have the required electrical knowledge, civil engineers that are substandard, substandard doctors, chemical engineer that doesn't know how to synthesize simple chemicals the reason we import people from outside to do everything standard, the list goes on and on.
Eg Nigeria society of engineers can get our iron and steel industry working, something that other people did thousands or hundreds of years ago, things they did even in Nigeria without school certificate though on a small scale, now lost the ability with certificate.

rinzylee:


God bless you for educating this generation that is so fixated on money only. They don't understand that education is the bedrock of advancement.

Today we don't have education but schooling, schooling to obtain certificare/title. In most cases school destroys advancement, in a situation where a particular society pays attention to the certificate than the knowledge involved like the situation in Nigeria, it becomes a burden.

To advance you just need knowledge and thinking ability, then research, not academic titles.

Academic titles/certificates with nothing to show for it, are one of the reasons Nigeria find it difficult to compete with the rest of the world in of science and technology.

Michael Faraday, Thomas Edison that invented many things was not a phd or a full time graduate. Nothing to celebrate about phd or other academic titles/ bragging rights.

Even sir Isaac Newton, that lead the scientific foundation that started modern industrial revolution was a self studied scientist. The list goes on and on.

Jaisman26:

Hahaha 😆 😂 😅 🤣 😅 🤣 see this one o..... Let's always argue with facts please. Please research about China Africa policy then you will be shocked at what they are doing to African economy. Ask Zambia, Gambia and other small African nations what Chinese are doing with their economy.

How the western media made it to look like, nothing bad in getting your loans back, since Africans are not ambitious then let china get what she wants with what she have.

A common adage says that the cock blame the pot instead of the knife that killed it, first ask yourself who kept Africa down before the Chinese came.

donforeign:
blame ur backward African leaders

Forward thinking leaders have been defeated by the western powers, they might even be in charge of presidential election rigging in Nigeria.
Forward thinking leaders=> accused of corruption=> economic sabotage and sanction=> bad economy/ suffering etc
Nigeria case is simple just use opposition. The reason they don't want Igbos in power, Igbos will end their looting in Nigeria, They know every ethnic group very well.

The only way Africa can escape their economic sabotage and blackmail is to start scientific research and development for industrialization, but average African is interested in entertainment ,religion/superstition and crab mentality against another ethnic group/ tribe.
So is not a matter of having good leaders, what about the collective intelligence and will power of average citizen to develop its country, you cannot build a duplex easily as a contractor if all your workers are chimpanzees.
Collective intelligence is very important because having ignorant people in large number with very few intelligent people is collectively useless, and frustrating. At the end of the day you achieve very little compared to the expected.

Bringbackmandat:
continue dreaming. Without the US terrorist would have taken over Nigeria.

Currently the terrorist lack the capacity to take over Nigeria, and that's the reason, not USA. When they aquire the capability either by upgrading its manpower and weapons or by working directly with the government which can disintegrate Nigeria, then USA can only negotiate for it's part in looting Nigeria,USA can only fight them if they refuse to give them their own share.

Bringbackmandat:
what policy shows that the US doesn't want Africa to develop. When Boko Haram wanted to bring this country down it is the US that sold the super Tukano jets for us and those jets are the reason for the peace we have in the north east now.

Westerners are masters of deceit they say one thing openly and do another secretly. Check all over Africa, including Nigeria any government that doesn't agree with their exploitive agenda they bring him down physically or politically, though they do it by raising opposition, media and divide and rule across ethnic groups etc.

donforeign:
why you no carry your family with visa go east, una dey run go west n USA..yeye

Telling people not to go the west is like telling a Nigerian from other places not to go to fct Nigeria, or lagos, fct and Lagos benefited heavily from Nigeria, the way westerners benefited from looting and dominating the world. If anybody can stop the West from looting the world then you will know their true colors.

27Pushing30:


Can we even produce Kalaz's in Africa?? Na ogbunigwe we wan use fight white man?

You speak english today cos they had guns while we have spears and axes.

African countries must invest in defence

That was in the past, currently the major problem with Africa is tribalism, ethnic hatred, one or more ethnic group inviting the white suppress another ethnic group, in order to maintain power, check across African countries it's always one ethnic vs another, one preferring to be a puppet to the white(western or Eastern powers) than see another progress. Same situation in Nigeria.

In a class
America is the very big bully, the bigguns. They are usually back benchers who will punch on you when once you Bleep up. They are fear their match but will descend on the smalluns.

Russia is the cool headed guys. They are not bullies but will do everything within their reach to show the bullies (the bigguns) that they are not pushovers. A fight between these two usually ends in punishment of the whole class and everyone in the class s them so as to teach the bigguns a lesson.

China are the tiny and very annoying guys that don't have single strength. But they might threaten you verbally and make you believe that you will face instant death when you try to pick a fight with them. But las las, you will always give them bloody nose.

North Korea/India/Saudi Arabia are those who will always fan the embers of war, telling you to punch harder.

Ukraine is the junior student that always runs to the senior and report for bully.

Africa will always sit in the middle of the class and watch every action without ing any faction. Their own is to avoid any trouble by all means. They are not trouble makers either. If they try to contribute to suggestions to bring peace in the class, they mumble. And when the bigguns ask "Who's speaking? Speak out let's hear... They goes mute. They dare not repeat what they said.

The west have made you to believe that china is very weak, but didn't learn how Chinese army chased allied forces and UN when they crossed the "38th parallel" and into north Korea with their military/air Force etc, USA was powerful during WWII because of its industrial might, but you have forgotten that China is now the new industrial giant. USA was able to build nuclear bomb because of Africa, if Africa was powerful enough, USA can't secure enough uranium from congo to build nuclear bomb, Same situation today, the west are boasting of being powerful forgetting what made them powerful, which is the resources they steal from Africa. Remove/cut off the mineral resources from Africa,latin America, asia, then watch how the west will be defeated and humbled.

patriotic007:
If not for USA that is keeping this super power nations in check they would have absolved all the smaller nations into themselves since........China wants Taiwan......Russia wants Ukraine......India wants Bangladesh.......North Korea wants south Korea.......The Arab world wants Isreal........And some religious bigots still think USA is the enemy......smh

It's the other way around, the other supper powers are keeping Allies in check, the west don't want Africa to develop, while China doesn't care, so who would you prefer, the one doing everything to stop your progress or the one that doesn't care wether you succeed or not.

The situation is more like lion, crocodile, cheetah etc trying to remove competition. Nothing good about the western powers, infact the Eastern powers are slightly better.

Until the state government gets the power to use its mineral resources, the 13% nonsense will not develop any state but enrich the politicians in charge.

uvie66:

The point is if the south east do break away, will the characters of the rulers be different from tha of the ikpazeus or orji uzor kalu?

You don't understand the issue, the problem is the system of Nigeria that enable looting, and the mentality of Nigerians, that once it's affecting the Igbos more,then it doesn't matter, or if it's going to benefit the Igbos more it shouldn't be. More like Igbos are not wanted.
The argument i might consider is, how sure that Igbos won't run the new country like Nigeria, to me considering everything it won't be different from Nigeria, maybe slightly better,because it will be more stable compared to Nigeria.

So in summary even if Nigeria is working, the fact that Igbos are not wanted is enough reason for self determination.

ibechris:




Are u educated at all.

What do u know about due process if it's not working within the stipulated law?

The law has spoken and u are here saying due process when u don't even understand what u are saying?

Rule of law means that no one is against the law not even the government officials including the Kings and the Presidents and the due process has been followed to the later.

Are you in this country, it seems common sense is far from you, someone with common sense will know that Nigeria is a biased society and the court not excluded, eg hope uzodinma etc.
You know that this is all about political fight, yet you are pretending you don't know.

ibechris:



U have a problem man.

Someone is trying to help u by stopping them from looting the state dry and u are here talking trash.

I am sure u don't know what Otti knows as an ex banker and an accomplished one for that matter.

Let otti follow the due process, at least Ikpeazu cannot take away state allocation after 29may.

Ddigit:
Was Alex Otti mentioned in the suit, you guys should learn to read before casting blame and the learned Judge is not dump to just freeze a whole state s if there is no tangible evidence of looming fraud and the rest, mind you, the order was given by a federal high court in Abuja, and not jankara -midnight announcement, Abia State is not the first to have its frozen, Kogi has gone through that before, likewise others, after all, what has he been doing with our money when all we see is borrow borrow.... How can an NDDC state like Abia with Two cities like Umuahia and Aba be so indebted with nothing to show for it. Internal debt that was just released recently shows that Abia is owing 103+ billion, what did they do with money, not to talk of the external debts in dollars..... Government House is in a rented apartment, make I stop here before my Olaniyi friends know the rot in our state, I no get body to take yabbing.

Your problem is that you have a "zero sum" mentality, what will he take that he hasn't taken since 7+ yrs , everything should follow a due process. the same way people that hated goodluck Jonathan was fighting him with buhari, now see the result. Otti is not a saint. Most people voted him because they believe he has the ideas to develop the state, if he doesn't have the ideas he should step down.

Any successive government that spend most of it's time fighting the previous government always performs below expectations.

Even otti is indirectly part of the problem of abia, he worked with ouk,TA in looting and hiding state fund using diamond Bank. If he's worried about getting funding for state development there people with ideas on how to raise funds for projects, all he needs is to reach out to people with ideas. Everything is not "zero sum" politics of fight,grab and share.

For sure, he did better than past governments in of development, but not better in salary payment than ouk, orji kanu better in salaries with zero development and plan for the state, he started bad leadership in abia and installed TA orji the worst government in almost every aspect.
But still Ikpeazu is still very poor is performance considering what is expected of him, ikpeazu greediness for wealth cost ahiwe the opportunity to emerge, ahiwe need to distance himself from Ikpeazu and others holding abia down if he wants to continue in abia politics,

Freighthost:

The pride too much
Its because of peter obi as d head
Notin more
No body know this Alex
Na Labour Party dem vote for because of wat dey blive in peter obi kind of person

Otti is popular even with some hardcore ers, in abia party don't matter the problem is that most results are rigged.
Even npp wins election in abia. Go and educate yourself on abia past political history.

Bluntguy:

Dede Ngwa, Otti is from Arochukwu, Abia North. His mom is from Isiala Ngwa. Abia north returned him as their son and for his competence. All the local governments he lost are your Ngwa local governments. You never voted for him. You even manufactured 108 thousand votes in your Obingwa in order to rig him out if not for Nnenna Oti whom God used to liberate Abia. What were you thinking when you were planning your Ngwa -Ngwa transition? Please get out of my mention.

Unless you are from aruchukwu, otti is more closer to ngwa than other groups apart from aruchukwu from abia north. From every indication you are not even from aruchukwu so go and rest then pray for good governance.
So you mean those ngwa youths and politicians like ginger that protested the delay of obingwa results are ghost.
Even ahiwe lost some Ngwa areas.
You think you are smarter than alex otti that insisted that he is from Ngwa.

I hope those ngwa that voted for good governance will see through the mentality of an average abia north, to you people it's all about clannish politics.
Ngwas are watching otti now, to prove himself as a competent man, if the starts looting that will be the end of his political career as a governor, senator, he will have to denounce his Ngwa citizenship and take up abia north, where you people will elect him the way you people elect former looters like ouk.

Bluntguy:

Dede Ngwa sorry o. Your mbalari got torn the day your kerosene governor brought another Ngwa man to continue from where he stopped in stealing Abia blind, in defiance of the Abia charter of equity.. Abia north holds the Ace in Abia politics

Politics of bitterness,
Abia north are least populated mostly forest and erosion.
1st position :otti officially -Ngwa
2nd position :ahiwe -Ngwa
3rd position : chima-Ngwa
If abia north continue with politics of bitterness they're playing, you can only choose among Ngwa candidates, or better Ngwa with hope of betraying him and rigging yourself in, since you don't have the population.
Many Ngwa voted for otti, for good governance but people like you voted because you think he's less Ngwa than other candidates thinking you can letter take the power from him, but otti know your plans, it's dead on arrival, he will not trust anyone from abia north the way ikpeazu did, hence no room for betrayal.
