I was at Abakiliki last month and it is a beauty to behold......


Though coming from the Abia-axis....Abakiliki seems to be the only place with such magnificent edifice.....with their small finance...

To our own Abia State....Osisioma flyover will be completed in 2031....

Now you made a better attempt at sounding intelligent. I actually read your last post with an open mind because I deduced, from its opening, it would contain some relatable submissions.

Now, there are usually distinct subsets in every large ethnic group. The Yoruba people have the Okun (Kaba) and Ilaje peoples (of Kogi and Ondo states respectively) whose variant of the Yoruba language is so distinct that an outsider Yoruba might not even make sense of it. This does not mean that they are less Yoruba.

The same thing applies to the Igbos of Ebonyi state. The language of the Bende man might be different from that of the Arochukwu man; Issele-Ukwu and Ika; Ibeku and Nsukka, Ikwerre etc., in fact, some may be largely unintelligible. This is a fact of anthropology; there are no standards -- the people of Ebonyi are no lesser Igbos to the peoples of Onitsha and Owerri... Each community has its peculiar heritage, and it reflects in the various slants in its 'sub-language' and 'sub-culture'.

What will we not see from these third class adopted igbos. Building church is now achievement for a governor Guinea-worm epidemic, VVF scourge and acute poverty are ravaging ebonyi people and umahi is lining his pockets with building of church

In simple terms, Owerri man's dialect is 85 percent igbo and communicable without trying to second to central igbo.

That can't be said of ebonyi dialect that is even 5 percent Igbo and not communicable in any way.



Am not trying to sound maybe whatever......but historical facts, languages, cultures can't be neglected in issues of one ethnicity and also bordering neighbours also have appreciable influence.

That is the state of ebonyi state.

Pls don't remind me of Abia!
Cuz it makes me want to swear for Abians especially Ngwa extract!
They are my ppl but they are the most foolish Nigerian hypocrites

I won't agree, owerri did his best for imolites but judging with a single picture snapped at alll angles 90, 180, 270 and 360 degree,then u need a brain surge.

SpaceTour:



Reality assessment by Google map shows that just Fegge area of Onitsha beats Maitama in planning but does it mean that Fegge is better than Maitama? Your stark dumbness is legendary Lol

PapaAdanna:


Can u back ur foolery with facts or shut ur gutter...
If u know Owerri well

Many more to mention but a few.
If those are the true definition of bridge may ur life be haphazard forever.


He tried by paying the imo workers whatever he wishes
He tried by sacking imo youths duely employed and started his deceit called YMW
By promising job job job, factory factory but resorted to building statue
Babe make I save my energy... Ur type deserve to be ignored completely but ur stupidity really needs daily slaps

TundeBricklayer:


You are very ignorant about Anambra, Anambra is second densely populated state after Lagos, developments cut across, Onitsha metro is biggest city and most populated in Southeast, saying Awka is very small city shows you are very ignorant, no doubt Enugu city, Owerri, Aba are far bigger than Awka, Awka metro covers Awka, Amawbia, Amansi, Umuokpu, Okuno, Nibo, Nwofia and Enugu-uwku.[/b] [b] Awka is bigger than Abakilike and Umuahia

globemoney:

And you're a paid PDP and Peter Obi attack dog masquerading as igbo nationalist. I threw many challenges at you and if this is your response then you should hide your face in shame.. In case you forgot, these are what I asked/told you still begging for answers:

Mention the landmark infrastructures Peter Obi did without debt
Mention the source of the debts Obiano is servicing since Obi left none
Open an Obiano VS Umahi achievements thread and invite me to the thread..
Mention any progressive governments in the world without debts..


Until you engage me in any of these, you are a shameless liar and hypocrite... I'm still waiting

Kennydoc:


Oga, you're not more Igbo than me. I'm from Idemili South LGA. I'm not even sure you're from Anambra.

Stupid dumb fellow

Saying that Fegge beats Maitama in planning shows you're the dumb one. You think city planning is all about having roads in polygonal shapes? Have you even lived in Maitama before? I lived in Maitama for 3 years and now, I live in a city far ahead of Abuja and Lagos. Please respect yourself!
If you didn't understand what I was pointiut from the Google map pictures, you should ask me what I was driving at. I was trying to compare the different capital cities on the basis of the number and network of major roads they have. Major roads in Nigeria are mostly Federal and state roads.

pazienza:


This is nonsense.
There is nothing natural about Central Igbo. Central Igbo is an artificial construct. No Igbo dialect should be judged by its closeness to an artificial construct of a language created by using mostly Abia/Imo and Anambra words, of course, central Igbo was always going to be closer to the dialects of areas of Igboland it was mostly created from.

Ebonyi Igbo is very mutually intelligible to their next Igbo neighbors.
For example, Ishielu people of Ebonyi understand Ezza dialect very well, Ezza understand Izzi and Ikwo. Nkanu of Enugu understand their Ishielu neighbors, and so on. Igbo dialects are intrinsically connected to each other across geographical spectrum. The nearer two Igbo dialects are to each other, the closer the mutual intelligibility.
It's as simple as that.

For someone who dedicates time to bash Igbo clans outside Anambra and have no time to study them to understand the intricacies involved. You've not earned the right to made general statements on Igbo groups.

TundeBricklayer:

No wahala, more

Donmedra:
what do you mean by I know nothing?

Kennydoc:

Traditionally, Awka has the same status as Amawbia, Enugwu Ukwu, Nawfia, Nibo etc. Those towns are not part of Awka. For example, you can't say Amawbia, Awka just like you say Garki, Abuja. Yes, they may be included as part of the capital territory to give Awka a wider area, but traditionally, they aren't part of Awka.Compare Awka to some other capital cities like Kano, Ibadan, Portharcourt etc and understand it is actually small. Asaba is another small capital city, but it's probably bigger than Awka.

XaintJoel20:


Obaseki is one of the best governors in Nigeria.
I can defend that anyday and time.

SpaceTour:
Your analysis are dumb, unfounded and neither here nor there.

Can you compare the number of roads as shown in Google map to the ones in Maitama? But does it make Fegge better than Maitama? NO

So I used that analogy to prove to you that it is not about how it is on Google map but how it is in practice.

Well I'm not a sycophant, so I would try to present an objective view of the issue.

Obi focused more on building Anambra rural roads. Under him, Anambra probably had the best rural road network.

He started the town funds bursary scheme where each town union were given money to solve local problems. By this, he brought governance closer to the people and made all of us participants.

He invested alot in education as well, as he handed the missionary schools back to the church and gave funds to the church to manage them. Regina Pacis is a beneficiary of such scheme and we saw the dividends it yielded when those girls made us proud.

Obi was all about frugal management of state resources. I know for sure that he left Anambra state as one of the least indebted states in Nigeria.

I have not seen any thing spectacular about Obiano regime to warrant the mounting debt. Other than the Awka fly over, where else are Obiano landmark projects to justify the mounting debt profile of the state.
This topic is currently on in Ndi Anambra facebook page, come there and see what our people who are not paid political and party sycophants think about the debt profile issue.
Obiano servicing of debts isn't why Anambra debt profile is rising . He is more busy accumulating more debts than he is servicing,if not the debt will not be increasing.

I will not be drawn into your favorite dick measuring contest between two Igbo states. Umahi works speak for him.

Mention any third world nation that had transformed to second world, by pilling up debts and ladening unborn generations with debts with no means of paying back?
I'm all ears.

Kennydoc:

I really think I shouldn't be having this argument with you cos you're very uncouth. You're probably a kid or a poorly trained kid in adult body.
The 'wonderful layout' of Fegge you're referring to are just a few streets close together. None of them is a federal or state road. Even the busiest road there – Zik's Avenue isn't a state road, not to talk of federal road.
Anyway, you obviously can't understand what I'm talking about since you don't understand that roads have grades. How can you be comparing inner streets in Fegge like Gunning Street, Lagos Street, Yahaya Street with major roads in Maitama like IBB Boulevard, Shehu Shagari Way and Aguiyi Ironsi Street?

SpaceTour:
Lol another dumb response. The area originally known as PH is just PORT HARCOURT LOCAL GOVERNMENT but the city has spread across Obiakpo, Eleme etc. The area known as Awka capital territory covers up to 5 LGAs. If we go by the just Port Harcourt LGA which was originally the area mapped out as the capital then PH is the smallest capital in Nigeria. Stop spewing rubbish


[s][/s]

SpaceTour:
You are dumb and a hopeless untrained child probably in a man's body. You talked about number of roads, the number of roads in that google map of Fegge out numbers all the roads in Maitama, but is Fegge better than Maitama? The ans is NO. You are obviously too dumb to get the point.

Attached below are the debt profile of Anambra in 2014 , both external and internal.

Kennydoc:

The day Nibo, Amawbia, Nawfia, Amansea etc people start admitting they are from Awka, you let me know.
Nothing you say can change the status of Awka from being a small town without any city outlook.

Kennydoc:

Guy, are you okay? Are you sure you're sane?
Who talked about number of roads? I said number and network of federal and state roads. Is that too difficult for you to understand? Don't you know what federal and state roads are? Is any of the roads in Fegge a state road? Gosh!

Ebonyi is 50yrs ahead of Osun and Ekiti combined together. These two states are the weakest link in the south of Nigeria...

They need to sit up... stomach infrastructure and shouting sufferiscation upanda will not save them .

The SouthEast is throughly more developed than the SouthWest
