Onitsha was leveled during the war but just imagine the dynamic city today, I even guess locations in those pictures are mainly Odoakpu area i.e New market road, Ose, Marine, main market etc but see how big the city has grown with no federal help.

No Federal help?....you have brain trauma, trust me....

"No Federal help" ds is the problem I haave with Igbos, most of them suffer from Grandiose Delusions. So you mean d FG doesn't share you bailout funds or they don't give yall monthly allocations. And once you tell them d truth you become an enemy and dy tag you dr most beloved title- Afonja! The SW would have loved to partner with the SE to conquer the North but we know they're just a set of vainglorious, chest-thumping, infantile and lousy set of people. That's why we manage to be comfortable with the North. Even d SS guys can't cope with the SE. Countries dat are far more developed are still very courteous & welcoming but make igbo do one tin wey be sey na copycat sef, the whole world no go hear word again. I wonder wetin go happen d day Igboman produce nuclear bomb, dem go sey dr lineage dey related to Jesus Christ & Albert Einstein. The Igbos have a big psychological problem and dy don't know it. I really wish Nigeria grants dem dr freedom. I'm very sure they won't last 10yrs b4 dy wipe themselves off and dat will be good riddance as d rest of us will just stroll in and Nigeria go hear word once more.

So u mean we should not celebrate what we achieve again? Was Albert Einstein not celebrated as the founding father of Physics and etc?

So your definition of celebration includes rubbing it in other people's faces and inciting more hatred 4yourselves?

Okay...Kontinuu. Una go tey 4ds Zoo.

Only the SW can deliver yall from d chains of ds Zoo Republic, for as long as yall continue to be delusional about your status and look down on other tribes the SW will continue to serve those who are hospitable & humble(North) while d SS will continue to be skeptical about yall and the North will continue to thrive and rule us all capitalizing on our weakness in d South which is our DISUNITY. Just continue fooling yourselves. I pray it won't be long b4 yall grasp this truth as FFK wrote in his recent article.

What are you saying? Why you mumu like this na? Yes Germany had to get loans and funds from different countries to build up the country. Nigeria has gotten loans and funds from different countries as well. Plus, from the world bank, IMF, and it even has oil. What have they done with it? Germany built up it's country to what it is today and more importantly, are able to maintain it. Nigeria cannot even maintain a university hostel's toilet. Think before you post rubbish.


Took time to follow all you posted on this topic and left with no other choice than to say you're indeed the caveman you were already called. Who on earth doesn't know that Nigeria and Africa in general have leadership issues that dates back to time immemorial.
Comparing Onitsha to German cities is nothing short of madness. Your argument was that Germany was razed during WW2(1939-1945) just like the city of Onitsha during the Nigeria-Biafra civil war that ended in 1970. Elementary maths will tell you that they had a head start of about 25 years over Nigeria (and onitsha by implication) in terms of rebuilding and healing the wounds of war.
I'm sure most 25yr olds in your town have 2-3 hunger stricken wives and children to feed.

If d North decides to split from d South 2day it will be done in a twinkle of an eye, why? The answer is simple- UNITY.

If you stay in d North for just a month you'll know that there's nothing like NW; NE & NC. There's only one geopolitical zone-the NORTH. But here you'll be seeing different names like SW; SE; SS; Delta Igbo; Ijaw etc. And you expect to conquer THE UNITED NORTH? Tell me when you wake up from your trance.
