He is an opportunistic Igbo.
Most Ikwerre people are that way.

This is who ordered the abandoned property.

The person standing next to him is the Then Prime Minister of Great Britain, Harold Wilson in 1969.

Alfred Diete Spiff was only 26 year-old Rivers State Governor.

Today, how many British Prime Minister visits Rivers or when was the last time they visited Rivers State.

They got everything from Diete Spiff free.

Lagos or Abuja is often their( visiting head of states and important dignitaries visiting Nigeria) destination. Which to me is good.

Recently in June, Ariaria Market traders got their own license to produce their own embedded power independently. This will be a game changer if successfully implemented.

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/ssouth-east/272078-ariaria-market-gets-power-generation-distribution-licences.html


If this project becomes successful, then you will see Market organizations all over the east especially main market, Onitsha start generating their own power.

u said the truth. To the sad extent that enugu is now being said to be more beautiful than ph. We cant even talk of security. Nightlife in ph has almost died because of killings. Infrastructure in ph is fast decaying...only a shadow of its former glory. And this was the richest city of the old eastern region.

The ikwerres should ask the igbos for forgiveness and come to the table to discuss how to move forward as one. Most igbos would rather go to lagos and establish than come to ph. Its really sad.

As for amechi bcoming president on an igbo ticket....lol...i wish him well. If he becomes president on igbo ticket then the ikwerres wont say again that they are not igbos

Not so bro, Igbo cannot keep making the sacrifice and for wat?

Amaechi will be supported becos Igbos know Ikwerre are Igbo but the issue of Igbo denial might work against Amaechi and not to his benefit.

There is nothing like handing Igbo Presidency to opportunitist Igbo so they will stop denying, being Igbo.

That dont exist.

If you notice, Most discussions of them don't necessarily start out to be about them. Its all about context of the discussion. All of us live our daily lives not even thinking about them because we have been doing fine on our own.

If their ego is inflated just because they are mentioned, then I personally feel sad and ashamed for them.

Exactly.
PH pictures and discussions are not needed here.

Also, PH has no direct access to Atlantic without passing through Rivers/Water bodies controlled by Ijaws.

So, I don't really see What game changing factor, PH adds to greater Igboland.
PH port would face same challenge as Obuaku port.
If I were to choose one, Obuaku would be the obvious one.
PH is the new Jerusalem, and should Nigeria cease to exist , the Ijaws and Ikwerres would have to share the city in peace or live in pieces. I'd rather we stay off PH and allow them sort themselves out.
The Ijaws are cornering the entire SS coastline from Edo(Gelegele) to Akwa Ibom (Ibeno/Eastern Obolo) and are up against bitter minorities neighbors who lay claim to these territories from Gelegele, through Warri to Eastern Obolo. The Ijaws are spread too thin and have neither the number nor wherewhithal to maintain these territories.

Ndiigbo need a sea access and we have the numbers, strategic thinking suggests that we stay off Ijaw/Ikwerre issues to keep our options open. Ikwerres have proven to be no more brother to us than the Ijaws are, they are just our neighbors, the better we start viewing them that way, the better for us.

It's often the case that groups, Ikwerres inclusive put their group aspirations first, even if it's injurious to Ndiigbo. It's time Ndiigbo learnt to do same. ie puting Igbo interest first and foremost, even if it means another group suffers. No friends in survival, only Allies and foes.
Let me not say more here.

Aba is a also a city with better future sustainability than PH, it has-been allowed to rot by cursed and inept leadership Abia State has been under, from 1999 to date, with no end to the rape of that Great Enyimba city in sight.

How about we discuss more of Aba here and none of PH?

Amaechi and greater percentage of his people are opportunistic Igbos.

Ndiigbo would be stupid supporting Amaechi and his ilk.

If Amaechi want to prove his Igbo heritage, let him campaign for an Igbo candidate like he did for Buhari. The tail does not wag the dog. It can not be us that would have to support him, for him to be Igbo. It's him that would support us, to prove his allegiance. cool

I don't care what you believe nwokem but the truth can set us all free. Have you asked yourself why it is just one flight Ethiopia land at the airport for almost 5 yrs? In the eyes of FG the airport is not recognized in Nigeria as an international airport.. because they only consider Lagos, Abuja, PH and Kano as the only international airports in Nigeria. Even Kaduna stands a better chance right now because it has been recently equipped.




Oga,

Whether in the eyes or nose of Buhari, Enugu is a local airport, you just confirmed to me that Ethiopian airline flies into Enugu using some of the biggest and most modern aircraft's in the world.

All the time I flew into Enugu. It was a boeing 787 dreamliner. The same plane that will fly you to Los Angeles or Chicago if you fly ETHIOPIAN from Addis Ababa to Chicago or Newark.

Nigeria is a laughing stock in the aviation world because they equip airports in the desert such as Katsina or Sokoto while leaving airports like Enugu and PH which have growth potential. Unless the FG is prepared to pay foreign airlines to land in Katsina, making the terminal of gold or paving the runway with diamond changes nothing.

PASSENGER volume is what makes an airport viable not glass buildings. So all those white elephant airports in Katsina, Sokoto etc, remain empty testimony to Nigeria's tragic mismanagement, while Enugu and others abandoned tell the story of Nigeria's poor infrastructure. Even if Buhari abandon AIIA, Enugu for the rest of his life. It changes nothing. The so called "Air Nigeria" they want to use to serve northern airports will still fail because nobody will fly in those coffins they won't maintain due to toxic Nigerian politics. If they ask private companies to manage Air Nigeria, then the companies will go to southern airports.

I applaud Ndigbo for their determination to support their own. We all know the wicked plans of the present regime us to return the SE into stone age thru violence and neglect. As in everything they do, they will still fail.

Abagworo, I have a feeling that the SE will be far more developed than Rivers or be it Port Harcourt in the next 20 years.

There pace of growth and development in a short space of time is astonishing.

Further, I think Port Harcourt should be competing with Cities like Abuja, if not Lagos.

It really goes to show the extent of rape that followed the Biafra war on Rivers and how it has affected development and in deed the people of the state, from Ikwere, Ekpeye to Ogoni.

Two things happened that prevented Port Harcourt from taking its predestined place as the richest and most viable city in Nigeria...a crown which Lagos finally took!

First was the change in the revenue sharing formula down from the hitherto 50% the regions formerly collected. And the second was a two-pronged/double-edged attack on Ndigbo that first saw the removal of the Igbo identity Port Harcourt formerly had, removing Igbo influence and control of the city and handing it over to the Ijaw with the creation of Rivers state; and secondly the abandoned property issue that made Ndigbo finally lose confidence to invest in Port Harcourt...they no more saw it as home.

If the revenue sharing formula hadn't changed, and Ndigbo remained confident investing in Port Harcourt like they did pre-1966...taking it as the economic hub of the Eastern Region, the city would have overtaken Lagos latest by two decades into independence!

You Hit the nail on the head. My main wish/goal now is for Igbos to replicate their Lagos investments in Strictly south east/Asaba area. It time we start investing in ourselves.

The jews used to invest blindly all over Europe until great tragedy struck them. Now they decided to pour most their resources to develop a desert country called Israel and today its unrecognizable.

The best Amaechi could do last Christmas, rather than face the shame of Ndiigbo patronizing Enugu International Airport was to shut it down.

Asking them to use Port Harcourt. Forcing Igbo to make the long journey of traveling from Lagos to East and Abuja to East

Somebody need to tell him that the dayz Igbo did that have past.

Igbo dont even want to use Lagos or Abuja, they want it in their state if possible or Enugu.

He better not try that this year.(Christmas)


There's something i'm struggling to understand though. If they shut down AIIA Enugu over the christmas period last year, with the excuse that they wanted to fix the runway, how come there was this uproar a few months ago about the decrepit state of this same AIIA runway that they shut the airport to fix?
