diogonwa: It's all nonsense. That's why I laugh at many of the posters here. Igbos and Yorubas are able to get along in real life, no one is killing anyone. There is no need to create 'Sabon gari' in Lagos, Enugu, Abeokuta, Ibadan, Nnewi or Port Harcourt. It's only in the north where they have to do such. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Chhhooo:if nigeria must progress,southern youths especially ibos and yorubas must wake up the youths from the north,then form a new political movement that will carry nigerian youths along,dethrone religion and ethnicity from the throne and enthrone nationalism,merit and expertise,throw abuja feeding bottle and pick up our tools and skills for self sufficiency. 3 Likes |

I disagree with you on NO COMPANY/INDUSTRIES IN ENUGU. 1) We have the biggest, most modernized and Beautiful Nigerian Brewery, and it is the best all over west Africa. 2). Innoson plastic company 3) ANAMCO, HONDA, NISSAN and other car assembly plants in Emene. 4) ALUMINIUM manufacturing plants in Emene. 5)Fr Mbaka cleaniest and international pure water and juice company that has employed majority of Enugu youths. And lots more small firms . So next time make research wells. 15 Likes 3 Shares |

Reading this makes me miss Enugu......lol Well said bro Except you didn't add cheap transportation,less traffic(unlike lagos where you have to leave home early to beat traffic).As early as 6am, you can literally count the number of vehicles on the road. Water is really a big problem in Enugu. I stayed in 82 division during my service. I developed biceps carrying buckets of water from long distances. Enugu's okpa is heavenly. And also thier beans and roasted plaintain. ![]() ![]() 10 Likes |

Op. This is warm welcome post. The best thing for this country is for Igbos and Yorubas to unite around our strenghts and laugh off our weaknesses. I wish you posted this while serving; you may have tried a few factories in Enugu: Amah Breweries NB, many aluminium mnufacturing plants; EastChase, Asaba Al, etc. You may have to work with small sole enterprenuership based businesses more than the government or corporate ones which are generally lacking in the East 5 Likes |

I can relate with all these Op. Was a Batch B 2010 corper and I served in a Secondary school in Udi, Udi LGA. Water has you righlty pointed was a big issue then. We had a tanker which supplied the corper's lodge at about a weekly basis, depending on our financial status. Unfortunately, the schools are as you said. Most public (and even some private) schools are run with youth corpers. This as we all know have adverse effects on the academic standards of the students. I never experienced tribalism throughout my stay. Having lived in almost all our geopolitical zones in Nigeria, I wonder where some of us get the tribal hatred which we so display on social media nowadays. Okpa o Okpa, what a life saver it was coupled with my coke ![]() Udi LGA has a handful of industries though. With the likes of Coca-Cola, Nigerian Breweries, Pepsi, Guinness, Aqua-Rapha and some more, most of which are located in 9th Mile. However, power supply was the best gift I think I had back then. It was so steady that whenever it was disrupted, we usually counted down in minutes and it's restored. I still miss teaching the students and I'll love to go back in the nearest future, hoping to see much more development. I don't know about the babes some are citing ooo ![]() ![]() 6 Likes |

melejo: U mean teaching English with Igbo in a secondary school? What is d difference? Let me tell you, I served in the east also. A science class (ss3) of 64 students, no one, I mean, not even one could state any of the Newton's laws of motion. I repeat, what's the difference? On public exams results, we know how the roll with miracle centres. Abeg leave mata jawe. See signboard in a place comparable with England 1 Like
