its the one anambradota means...if its under contention...then delta and anambra should share it 50-50 and make it a vip estate...like banana island or manhattan

nnamdijonathan:


It sounds very sweet as you've just said it but you have forgotten that our leaders are not as visionary as you think. That land will still be empty till 2050

Bede2u:

A report from NYSC this morning stated that 600 corp members applied to relocate to another state after they discovered that they were posted to Anambra state. This is the second time I'm seeing this thing take place in the east. First it was Enugu now Anambra. Why do non-igbos never want to visit the east for any reason at all? There is definitely a problem of reputation and defacement in the east and it is so bad that most people never want visit the east for any reason at all. People, most especially [s]youth corpers prefer to serve in the SS, SW and North[/s] than serve in the east and this is a major problem that must be solved. How can we make the east more attractive to outsiders?

Afam4eva:

That's not entirely true. The North is always the last resort for most youth corpers. After that, people always want to be close to home, which means that people who live in Lagos want to be posted in lagos or the states close by (Ogun, Oyo etc). Thirdly, people go where they think they will have fun. I've seen people choose to go to Akwa Ibom and Calabar because they feel they will enjoy their stay.

In the east, Enugu has the best reputation as most people going to the east will prefer to go to [s]Enugu before aywhere else because Enugu has a more positive image than other states[/s]. The thing is that the east has a bad reputation such that people who haven't been there already have a preconceived notion about it. It's only when they go there that they realize that it's not as bad as being painted. That's why those corpers withdrew their relocation. But i think we should do more in bolstering our image. Unfortunately, our leaders are not good image launderers.

The main issue now is how can we revive our image. You don't know how annoying it feels when you see people rating the likes of Akwa Ibom, Ogun, Osun, Cross river and Oyo over Enugu, Anambra and IMO. Something must be done ASAP.

Handsomegod:
They apply to jettison Igboland,their hugeeee losssses! That is ignorance on rampage. What re[utation aside the smear campaign on-going since 1970? That also shows how much the gutter media and parental miseducation have gone to damages people's perspectives on Igboland.Ask some of them the reason for their aversion and you hear some of the most ridiculous trash ever vomited by a supposedly educated person. Have there ever been a case(s) where the Igbo,collectively or individually attacked a visitor or people of other ethnicity based on real or perceived offence? In fact,in Igbo worldview and value system,the visitor is king. Isi onye obia ka isi onye nwe uno (the visitor is more important than the host). This tradition is both literal and factual. Sectarian crises has never happened in Igboland. Ritual killings and diabolic acts live and breathe in the west so whats the whole issue all about?. It is well.We owe ourselves the duty to alter the narratives.

Handsomegod:
I am compelled to ask you to provide the official link to the original info. Any link from NYSC supporting that?

Enugu state government has engaged the services of street sweepers who sweep the roads every morning. ...........

Can you provide solutions?

Handsomegod:
We are already providing the solutions by the ideas and pictures of our best endowments of the entire Igboland showcased on this thread and other Igbo related thread.By all means,we have shown Igboland is more livable and habitable than other regions even with the deprivations staring us in the face. It is all about altering the prevailing narratives. The media war targeted against Igbos for close to 50 years cannot be erased overnight. It only took the social media boom to alter much of the entrenched stereotypes and negative smear campaigns. It is work in progress.
Again,we have to start telling our stories. This is where the media comes in. Lagos acquired much of the clout it posses today strictly based on media advocacy. A trip to Lagos shows a city living on hype and propaganda. Time for Igbo sons of means to invest in media and tell our stories better.
You watch CNN and see various countries and regions showcasing their b
