Lol...like I said, you need to go out more. It's been almost half a century and the place looks like a pre historic site filled with dirty people. And guy, if you've been to half the contries I've been to, you'd understand. Smh.

are u dis daft adamu?


first,if biafra were 2 be sovereign,u and I knw dat wot we experiencing now will be child's play to the developments dat wud have taken place.

Secondly why do u keep comparing igbo regions with places like switzerland and Germany? Is it because u feel they are supposed 2 be rubbing shoulders with such ppl,if not for the successive useless and repressive successive govts of Nigeria? It wud av made a semblance of sense if u had compared the region with other regions in nigeria(dat havnt seen a single rocket launch b4 o).

I told u 2 take it easy just now didt I? I prefer 2 have u alive here and blubbering rather dan hav u deceased here out of envy and dementia

kenralph:


My brother you obviously don't have any valid point to defend your ill conceived comparison of Onitsha and Germany.
I ain't taking away anything from Deutscheland. They've come a long way by being the most buoyant economy in the Euro zone today. #danke

Why shouldn't I compare? They both exist don't they? Comparisons drives us most times. When you have nothing to aspire to the end result is a country like Nigeria. #bitte.

You are too much of a dimwit to realize I am not comparing just one region to countries like Germany. You are all Nigerians aren't you? It doesn't matter the region. One is as phucked up as the other. And keep blaming government for your woes as if you all are not the people who put them there.

"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.

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.

You just exposed yourself as an untravelled ignoramus.The Marshall Plan wasn't any loan,it was a coordinated plan,thought out and put in place by then Secretary of State George Marshall,to rebuild Europe especially Germany.No less than $50b of then money,was sunk into it.Imagine the value of that now.
Nigeria has gotten loans,bla bla.... Has any of it been dedicated to rebuilding destroyed infrastructure in the Eastern region?.
Rather what your Nigeria did was built up Lagos and then,to top it,built a brand new capital,from scratch,in Abuja.Sinking funds meant for elsewhere into it.
Dude,you know nothing.You haven't even travelled out of your enclave yet,only to your state capital and then Lagos,all your life.Dare not argue what you're wholly ignorant of,in the name of serving foolish tribal pride,or I'll be tempted to use you wipe the ground on this thread.
Germany got loans and funds,indeed

So, basically you've just repeated what i already said before. Nice comeback . Anyway, take your re.tarded mind back to the recent Greek crisis. Do you know what one of the excuses that Greece used to defend their default on loans? They said that if Germany didn't pay back a large chunk of the funds given to them for their restructuring then they also have a right to default. It is a well known fact which every normal educated person know. Una go just de type rubbish because you think google will give you all the answers. And bros, my life and lifestyle will leave you in tears because you'll realize how hopeless yours is . Leave Aba and explore the world and your perception will evolve.

nice!

Yyeske:
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.
Igbo amaka

With no federal help?
Your governors all these while de reject monthly allocations?

Or your dead pdp didn't touch any city?

If so.. then why do you want to die because pdp was voted out?

Your idiocy takes the cake.
You were comparing individually built up,postwar, Onitsha with postwar Germany and I educated you to the fact that the United States built back the destroyed infrastructure in Germany,with their Marshall Plan.Something you,the "travelled around" village man didn't know.You tried to wing it by saying they borrowed loans and funds.Now you're trying to wiggle out by pointing to the Greeks?.
Dude,better you had kept quiet and be thought a fool than to have typed and removed every scintilla of doubt.
BTW,Greece never tried to justify loan default by pointing at any nation's infrastructure fund,the bulk of the bailout they were taking/took,cams from Germany,Europe's economic powerhouse.
And lest you think you've muddied the waters,the crux of debate here is you comparing Germany,"rebuilt"by the United States and the Eastern region,being built back through individual efforts,while your Nigerian so-called 3R's built Lagos,Abuja and elsewhere that never even saw a mortar launched

Why you mumu naa. Germany took loans up to 1.5 billion dollars for the reconstruction of the country. Even a s.tupid man will know that America did not single handedly fix the country. Are we that rich? Haba. If you go Google, try do am well na. And yes, the crux of the debate is about your inability to see and compare yourselves with normalcy. You all always want and need justification on why your lives are miserable. Carry on.

mumu stop fooling yourself the guy just schooled you and you are still here bringing shame to your tribe, generations and ancestors. Instead of you to just lick the wounds of your badly battered ego and go into hiding you are still here clowning while others laugh at you. Ode.

I can bet that in the war only 3% of the southeast was touched. opon all that the southeast still looks underdeveloped. chai

see this emotionally unstable Afonja pimple prick, talking about pains, hate and dying slowly these are all words synonymous with Afonjas or tell me how you explain Oju eja's death from otapia pia or continuous joys Afonjas derive when an IPod youth is killed or tell me how do you even explain your presence here on a Igbo city thread where you come to show hate and jealousy. Afonjas sha you guys sha enjoy living in lies and deceit and believing them to be your gospel truths.

Anyways let me don't take much of your time I know you are not yet done with counting those human organs that you harvested last night from your skull Mining activities. Continue with your soft work, I say wehdone sir.
