Mktinsight aka pandax, posting and quoting himself just to see reason to camp here 24/7. Work has resumed today, go and do something with your miserable life. Or is this thread your office? Tufia
I have been tracking the Maersk container "Wide Bravo" from China to Clarion terminal Onitsha river port. The ship will dock at Onne port on 7th of October.
More than 15 years after Uyo intl. airport was inaugurated and functioning from a bungalow terminal building, it is finally building the permanent terminal building!
This is how to build an airport sustainably because even as an oil producing state, Akwa Ibom knew they could not afford to build the international standard airport with 3.5KM runway, taxiway, navigational equipment, massive imposing terminal building etc all at once. You MUST order them in such a way that you will continuously develop the airport in time as resources become available.
They understood the correct order of facilities for an airport to develop sustainably was:
the control tower, the runway, basic building to process passengers for arrivals & departures, navigational equipment, taxiway and the permanent massive terminal building.

ARE U DONE SUPPORTING OBIANO, 12 MONTHS BUS GARAGE CONSTRUCTION AT UMU ERI?
BY THE TIME UMAHI IS DONE, WITH EBONYI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, THAT THING OBIANO IS BUILDING WILL BE AN EYESORE.

If you are not particularly pained by the development in Anambra state, you would know i have no support for any politician but the interest of my state. In this same thread, some have also accused me of supporting Peter Obi.
Bottomline is that i am pro-Igbo. I support developments in all Igbo states (including Delta and Rivers) and what will help them develop our people's capacity to develop Igboland as a whole. I am very much unlike you that thinks because you are from Enugu, you should dish out negative energy towards a project in Anambra etc, with the shortsightedness that if the economy of Anambra booms, it readily uplifts Enugu too. Just like Lagos economy uplifts Ogun today and drives industrialization of Ogun due to proximity to Lagos. But you are too shortsighted to see beyond primitive instincts. Imagine an Ogun person fighting against economic projects in Lagos? They won't because they are wiser.
If you have lived in the United States, you will know that what makes that country so great and powerful is that the same standard of living in Washington DC is that same standard of living in San Diego, Denver or Flint! Therefore, people don't unnecessarily have to over populate Washington DC because that is the only place that has an international airport, or seaport or good telecoms. That is the big difference between you Nigerians' world view of let us develop only Lagos, Abuja and Kano, then leave the rest of the country in stone age. Precisely the reason why there is so much hatred and clamor by everyone to leave the country because of the senseless agenda/mindset of a typical Nigerian to use other peoples resources to develop only sections of the country, while frustrating development in other parts of the country.

On point....... developing part of a country and leaving the rest at a sorry state is what we practice in Nigeria..
TELL OBIANO NOT TO BUILD TRASH THERE IN A HURRY. AIRPORTS ARE NOT BUILT IN 1 YEAR. WE NEED A WORLD CLASS AIRPORT, YES, DAT IS TRUE. WE DONT NEED A BUS GARAGE BEING TOUTED AS AIRPORT.
WE DONT NEED A BUS GARAGE BEING TOUTED AS AIRPORT.

See how they've been cheating Anambra of its 13% derivation payments! It's mentioned in the clip that the oil and gas bearing communities in Anambra have been cheated since 2011 when oil exploitation commenced, and the latest is the one a oil coy called SEEPCO is doing...since 2016, they've been stealing Anambra oil through underground pipes and directing it to their sites in Delta State. To my understanding, this invariably means that Delta State is collecting financial benefits due to Anambra since Anambra oil bearing communities are complaining and the state is yet to receive shishi by way of 13% derivation!
Anambra that has proven oil and gas reserves is getting nothing, yet the Buhari gov't is spending hundreds of millions of dollars looking for oil and gas in the north to exploit! When i argue that the political-economy of 'one Nigeria' is evil and anti-Igbo, this is a good example to buttress my point! It's like this because some Igbo hating bigots just can't sleep at night if they know Alaigbo is benefitting maximally from its hydrocarbon deposits. I'm sure it's these same envious bastards that remotely engineered the boundary issues between Anambra and Kogi....which to this day is yet to be settled almost a decade after it started!
Later now bigots will be screaming that Alaigbo is barren and isn't contributing anything to the federation! Meanwhile, they sneak behind our backs to steal the little we have! Does anyone think this would be the case if the same amount of hydrocarbons were found in say Katsina State...that almost a decade after exploitation began, they would still not be receiving 13% derivation payments?
I'm also angry with the Anambra state gov't which doesn't seem to be taking this issue as seriously as it should! All we hear is bloody grammar with nothing concrete to hold on to! Also, will the thieving federal gov't and SEEPCO back-date their payments to Anambra and cough up all the one they've been stealing since 2011 to date?

SEEPCO is a known crooked company owned by Pakistanis. However, there is every evidence that the present theft was orchestrated by Federal Government. Imagine drilling across River Niger just to hide their pipes under water and deny Anambra of her oil revenue? This is totally wicked!

wants everyone to write Igbo with freedom. The Latin alphabet, she says, has too many limitations and is a “deep source of frustration for everyone who has ever tried to read or write” Igbo. So she invented Ndebe, a script that pays homage to “the old Nsibidi logographs.”
Ndebe is not Nsibidi, she is quick to remind people. “It is completely unrelated,” she told this reporter during a 30-minute Zoom call in July. While the latter was invented more than 1,500 years ago and is generally considered too complex or indecipherable to be used by present-day Igbo people, Ndebe is designed to “overcome the design problems” of a writing system “every Igbo person could use simultaneously.”
The Ndebe script is visually striking. It consists of 1,174 characters, each of which represents a particular sound in Igbo. People necessarily don’t have to memorise all the characters to be able to read or write the script because there is a formula, a scientific logic – consciously embedded by Lotanna – to ease the difficulty of assimilation, especially for busy adults.
Ndebe solves two important problems of Igbo language literacy. One, it eliminates the confusion that often arises when two Igbo speakers with different dialects try to communicate via the written page. Two, it forces Igbo to be written with the appropriate tones.
Ndebe is “a writing system that addresses the tonal peculiarities of Nigerian languages, pleasing to the eye, which might carry the burden of our literary and academic aspirations,” linguist Kola Tubosun wrote recently.
Tubosun, whose work with Yoruba won him the Premio Ostana prize in 2016, also sees Ndebe, partly on the basis of its “visual allure”, being “used along with English or other language texts on signposts throughout the country.”
“ . . . where I think the script most succeeds is in its opening of a new vista for the revitalization of Igbo as a written language both on the page and on the web, for literacy, and for culture,” he wrote.
At some point, early this July, more than 300 people were tweeting about Ndebe. Lotanna had just unveiled the new script on a dedicated website. “This is brilliant,” one person tweeted. “This should be widely adopted.” Others praised Lotanna’s brilliance. “Oyinbos lied to Africans with Western education & we all believed without doing research,” another person wrote. “They said Africans only have oral history and no form of writing. Ethiopians have Geez script and South East Nigeria had Nsibidi which is 4000yrs old, thanks @sugabelly for educating us all.” The excitement was palpable.

When Lotanna started working on Ndebe in 2008, she was 19, studying Business Administration at Canisius College, a private Jesuit university in Buffalo, New York. The school had a lot of international students. “I used to hang out with a lot of Japanese students,” she said. Her Japanese communion piqued her interest in the East Asian nation’s culture, enough to begin considering learning Japanese.
Lotanna was a linguistic prodigy. As a child, she spoke Igbo and English, learned Yoruba in primary school, Hausa in secondary and taught herself Spanish. But it was Japanese, with its syllabic writing system, that crystallised her frustration with how African languages, especially her native Igbo, were written.
“Ever since I first learned to write Igbo in school, I have been infuriated with Samuel Ajayi Crowther,” she blogged in 2009. “The Roman system of writing was obviously never designed to accommodate African languages, but Mr. Crowther nevertheless proceeded to use it to write down all three major Nigerian languages, thereby bringing untold agony and exasperation on all future generations of young Nigerians.”
“For the Roman script, the tone marking is a big issue for me, especially because of Yoruba and the way we write,” Tubosun said during a phone interview. “There is also the technology, when we don’t have the tools to write it.” For example, Unicode is famous for incorrectly rendering certain Yoruba vowels. “So maybe if we have some other way of writing that can bypass the obstacles that Unicode presents. It might give us a new way of writing these languages.”
Lotanna started to research African writing systems and found out about Nsibidi which originated from the Cross river valley (south-east Nigeria) and consists of inscriptions in sanctuaries and special forms of language used among members of certain secret societies.
Precolonial sub-Saharan Africa is largely perceived, by western sources, as without a history of writing systems. But systems such as Nsibidi and Gicandi from the Kikuyu of Kenya, even if arcane, say otherwise. The Ge’ez script has also been in use in Ethiopia since 500 B.C. Since the 1800s, more African scripts – Mende in southern Sierra Leone, Loma in northern Liberia, Bamum in Cameroon – have been devised to perpetuate local lingua.
Armed with the knowledge that it was possible to create a writing system unique to Igbo, Lotanna, in 2008, started work.
At first, she planned to revive Nsibidi and supplement it with Ndebe. So, Igbo would be written in two scripts. (Japanese is notably written in three)
She completed the first iteration of Ndebe during the American winter break of 2008, bleeding into 2009 when she first wrote about the project on her blog. Then she was 20 and wanted to start an “Igbo Academy”.
“My goal is for the Igbo Academy to expand Igbo vastly by developing additions and modifications to the Igbo language that will greatly encourage its use in everyday life by Igbos and non-Igbos alike, and that will make Igbo relevant and expansive enough to be regularly used in business, politics, fashion, news, literature, dialogue, and in every other sphere of life,” she wrote at the time.
“I was a bit naive,” she told this reporter. “Everyone said it’s a great idea, but nobody wanted to do the work.” When she posted it on Nairaland, a Nigerian digital newsboard, “a lot of people insulted and laughed at me. Especially a lot of Igbo people. They said this is rubbish. And I got into very heated arguments with people over it. So I ended up doing all the work by myself.”
After designing the Ndebe script, she started researching how to create new symbols from Nsibidi, posting online, looking for help.
But, around 2011, she concluded that Nsibidi was not suited for the kind of script she wanted. Like Chinese, Nsibidi characters represent an idea. So it was quite possible that there would be no limit for the number of characters to be created. In its present form, the Chinese script consists of over 50,000 characters. If her project was going to be successful, she reckoned, “it had to be easy for people to learn.”
So she went back to the initial Ndebe script she had worked on. “In its original form, Ndebe was designed as an assistant to Nsibidi. So I had to start from scratch and re-designed the whole thing.”
Some of the big changes she made was to move from an alphabetic system to a syllabary, which is harder to learn. To compensate, she worked in a formula to write the script.
“The way Ndebe works is that there is a scientific logic to how you put the pieces of the characters together,” she said. “And so because of that, when you are reading or writing Ndebe, you don’t have to have memorised the entire script. You basically have to follow the logic, and you can use the logic to understand.”
She also left out many of the design flourishes of the initial script. “The original script is a lot more beautiful than the published script,” she said, a touch of sadness in her voice. “I had to sacrifice elegance for simplicity.”
Stanley Eke, a technology entrepreneur, had seen the earlier versions of Ndebe. “At that time, it looked complex and hard to grasp,” he told this reporter. But after Lotanna published the new script in July, he practised for two hours and wrote her a ‘thank you’ note in Ndebe. “Not super accurate and I missed the ‘m’ end syllable in the first sentence,” he tweeted. “But okay enough, I think.” She was floored. “I can’t get over how quickly you adapted to writing it,” she replied. “This is amazing.”
Eke, who continues to perfect his understanding of the script, said Ndebe should become popular in the Igbo language community.
“It is authentic,” he stressed. “This is an Igbo woman who came up with this. One of ours came up with it. It simplifies the language and makes it easy to standardise, and it gives the language a visual identity. This is how Igbo should be written.”
But how many will write with it? When this reporter reached out to a few Igbo writers and educators, it was the first time they were hearing of Ndebe. “Never heard of the new script,” one award-winning Igbo author texted in response to an interview request.
“That people don’t know about it is an issue, but it’s not a big issue,” the linguist, Tubosun said. “I assume that scripts that are invented take time before they become widely accepted.” One, it has to find its way into popular culture in vehicles such as film, music, books, visual art; and, two, it has to be standardised by academics, enough to be teachable in classrooms.
“So there’s a lot of work for the inventor to do and for people who care about it as well.”
Lotanna, Ndebe’s inventor, has slightly different ideas on how she wants the script to be adopted.
“A lot of people have said, we need to get into the educational curriculum or develop some computer program with this,” she said. “I actually don’t believe that we do. I think that adoption takes personal effort. And what I’ve noticed is that a lot of people are lazy. People don’t want to make the effort to do things. They kinda just want to snap their fingers and just want it to appear. And what I want with this script – there are cultural aspirations behind it as well, otherwise I won’t have spent 11 years of my life developing it – I want to spark a change in attitude amongst people. I am trying to foster the attitude that making the effort is important. I made the effort to improve the way Igbo is written, and in return I would like to see individual Igbo people making the effort to master the script. And they should do that outside of a certain cultural pride. Not about ‘what’s in it for me’ or ‘trying to make a quick buck’. Writing in Ndebe should be its own reward. You should get a sense of enjoyment from expressing yourself using the script.”
She has put out a copyright notice on the script and has said ‘no’ (“My standard response”, she calls it) to people who have approached her to feature the script in some elaborate project.
“Because a lot of people who have made the requests haven’t taken the time to learn the script,” she added.
“The uses I’ve been most interested in, ever since I’ve launched the script, is to see individual people on Twitter who are taking the time and effort to learn the script. That has been very heartening for me to see. We’ve also had a writing competition. People got out their notebooks and pieces of paper and wrote a few sentences. Some people even wrote like a whole page. And that’s an amazing effort.
“A lot of people are kinda jumping the gun.
“The whole point of the Ndebe script is, it is supposed to be for everyone’s private, daily use. You want to write a letter, use Ndebe, you want to write a grocery list, use Ndebe. If you want to jot down your daydreams, use Ndebe. If you want to write in a diary, use Ndebe. And I think that these uses of the writing system are far more important than commercial uses that seem flashy and after a while, everybody loses interest.
“How a language gets passed on and persists into the future, is not through the flashy uses of the language, it’s through the boring, daily use of that language. And that’s what I really want people to focus on.
“I don’t mind if, in terms of adoption, progress is slow. I care more about the quality of progress that we are making.”
Whether her approach is the right one is anyone’s guess, but her journey is evidence enough that she’s in it for the long haul.
“I do feel relieved that I’ve done it and it’s out,” she said of the script’s release into the world. “But there’s still quite a lot of work to be done. And it’s like there is definitely a weight on my shoulders, because now that the general public knows about the script that I’ve invented, I also have the responsibility to ensure that the script is being used in a way that I envisioned, and to guide the project to fulfil its goals.
“There are goals that I’ll like to be fulfilled in terms of adoption, digitisation, the use of the script, reforming the Igbo language. I do think that it might be something of a lifelong project for me.”
if obiano can finish the airport and get it functioning before leaving office , he will be the best governor anambra havr ever had . it will uplift businesses in anambra and develop a modern city in that part of the state . obiano should please chase away all this tout out of our roads , the are the real criminals we have now in anambra . do you know how many death we record every day in the hands of this criminals, the are tax collectors in the morning and criminals in the night .if I start posting pictures of this criminals brutality , you will think am spoiling the image of anambra
Very correct. I hope the next governor knows how to plan and manage projects or gets people who know how to such that when you announce a project you give a realistic time frame for achieving it given budget limitations.
The airport should be a 15 year undertaking not last minute political gambit.
More than 15 years after Uyo intl. airport was inaugurated and functioning from a bungalow terminal building, it is finally building the permanent terminal building!
This is how to build an airport sustainably because even as an oil producing state, Akwa Ibom knew they could not afford to build the international standard airport with 3.5KM runway, taxiway, navigational equipment, massive imposing terminal building etc all at once. You MUST order them in such a way that you will continuously develop the airport in time as resources become available.

NWANNE, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS TO OUR NOTICE AND I HONESTLY THINK U SHOULD FOLLOW IT UP BY CREATING ADDITIONAL THREAD ON THIS MATTER.
MAKE SURE U MENTION THAT PAKISTANI COMPANY IS STEALING ANAMBRA OIL VIA PIPELINE TO DELTA.
THE REASON U SEE THEM DOING SO, IS BECOS THE BRITISH GAVE THEM A POLICY TO REMOVE OIL COMMUNITIES FROM THE SE REGION.
THEY COULD NOT REMOVE THE AFOREMENTIONED AREA BECOS OF RIVER NIGER BARRIER, SO THEY PUT A PIPELINE ACROSS.
THESE ARE SOME OF THE REASON IPOB IS PUSHING FOR BIAFRA, SO WE CAN GET OURSELF AND START TO MAKE PROGRESS.
I'm on the same page with you on issues.......well, most of the time anyway!
I don't believe creating a thread on this issue will do much besides creating another avenue for more ethno-religious inspired barbs and hate from the usual suspects! I reckon the right persons in the state gov't and other elite that matter would have seen this post! Hopefully, they will get off their ass and ACT NOW instead of just blowing hot grammar and making empty promises of looking into the matter!
I've always argued our elite don't fight our corner well enough as they should! Given our experiences from the uncivil war to date, it appears they're a bit too scared to stand up to DEMAND for our due from Nigeria.....even if it means rocking the boat or shaking the table a bit! They're either too scared to say anything or they're selfishly preoccupied with their own political and economic interests to be bothered giving a fuc/k! Only a few like Abaribe are representing us well at the centre! What have the Senators and Reps members of the national assembly from Anambra/SE been doing for close to a decade that this issue has festered this long? The Fulani or Yoruba political and ruling elite wouldn't tolerate this nonsense even for a day!
SEEPCO is a known crooked company owned by Pakistanis.
However, there is every evidence that the present theft was orchestrated by Federal Government. Imagine drilling across River Niger just to hide their pipes under water and deny Anambra of her oil revenue? This is totally wicked!
As per your second paragraph.....it stands to reason doesn't it? This present criminality was said to have started in 2016; the coy is a Pakistani coy; and guess who has been in charge of the ministry of petroleum and NNPC since 2016! It all adds up nicely! See the joke they've succeeded in reducing AIIA, Enugu to!
