and guy

im not sure you would want 2 go back 2 Aba if u leave

You go miss the Joints, craziness and all but

1 you go discover say rolling up your trousers and removing your shoes in order to wade through dirty water 2 go home every day is non existent in other places. If you ae going home you put your car on criuse control and drive for hours on 4 way lanes without one single pothole

2 u go see say Aba dey like dumping ground and open refuse for middle of street no dey for other places

3 you go see malls come compare am to Ariaria, Ahia ohuru, Cemetary etc and you will be totally disgusted. Shiny, sparkling lovely malls vs brown dirty water 4 Ariaria that you have 2 swim through

4 you no go see dead body 4 street again. EVER

Aba is in the 14th century infastructure wise. No sanitation, road, indoor shooping center, mall, facility etc

Abeg Nwanne the list too long.

@bigmodo

looks like ur an Aba boy cheesy. Enyimba city 4 life grin. If Aba boy yarn u go know. The average Aba guy dey look 4 way 2 ja naija.

Any new things they happen 4 our beloved city? Infrastructure wise? New joints in town in the past few years?

Itz a shame that a big city like that doesnt have any roads despite the money it generates.

Nigeria's 3rd commercial city looks like a dumping ground embarassed lipsrsealed. I feel sad whenever i think about this.

Cities and even tiny towns in other places around the world that have a population smaller than just one section ( Town or Ogborhill, or Abayi-Umungasi, or PH road, or Faulks, or Ossisioma or any single ONE of Aba) have more roads than all the east combined

I feel sad when i see a town of 20,000 or 50,000 people having 4 to 6 way lanes with multiple flyovers, malls, recreational centers, 5 star hotels etc but a City of millions of people like Aba which is the heartbeat of Nigerias manufacturing has NO SINGLE good road and no sanitation.

I love Aba but the condition is terrible cry

SAD

guy if everybody move 2 lag, ph and abuja will it contain everybody?

right now Nigeria has many cities that actually has over a million people. We should be like Brazil or Mexico at least with at least 25-30 cities which have amenities, good roads and skyscrapers where people can live.

Ibadan, Illorin, Warri, Jos, Aba, Enugu, Calabar, Onitsha etc

How many of these places have we developed? How many of them resemble a city rather than a sprawling shanty town?

Travel / Re: Dirtiest City In Nigeria? by sage(m): 1:46am On Dec 21, 2008
so why is Nigeria's 3rd largest commercial city and the heart of manufacturing in so much decay?

Aba has more than 1 million people, making it one of the most populated cities in Nigeria and the whole of West Africa shocked shocked. It is only behind Port Harcourt in terms of population in the whole of eastern Nigeria.

Aba has a 25,000 capacity stadium that cant be used for international events due to the appearance of the city.

Im wondering if anybody has been 2 Aba recently

Any changes to report on cry? (positive)

the day we tell ourselves the truth and admit that the culture of a place is not a seperate entity from its development and advancement is the day we start identifying whats wrong with us in our entirety. (Our respect everybody stuff even those who have not earned it, don't question or demand accountability from people above u, leave everything in the hands of deity rather than demamd aggresively and ensure that we punish thieves who are destroying the country regardless of societal standing and an unwillingness to evolve with times etc)

guys the west was once a ceasepool of corruption and underdevelopment. The populace changed their mentality and changed their way of life for good

till we start questioning the way we do things, our mindset, mentality and YES OUR BELOVED CULTURE we will keep wallowing in darkness

LEAVE THE WEST ALONE. LET US CLEAR OUR OWN SHIT B/4 WE START QUESTIONING WESTERN CULTURE. OUR HOME IS A CEASEPOOL OF EVERYTHING BAD AND WE ARE HERE QUESTIONING THE CULTURE OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THEIR LIVES ORDERLY AND ARRAINGED shocked shocked. THATZ WHY WE ARE A JOKE IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD

Sorry guys for going off topic.

Now can we please get back to the topic grin cheesy
Culture / Re: Men Don't Think African Culture Is The Best. They Like It Because It Favors Them by sage(m): 2:23am On Dec 12, 2008
guyz the day we stop using colonization as an excuse for our decadent society is the day we will start moving in the right direction.

Asia and Latin America suffered colonization and many of them got independence after African nations

is Colonization the reason why

1. We have dead bodies laying on our streets for days and weeks decomposing

2.  we have garbage all over the place and live with it like its normal (when we hear that Prsident Bush is coming we sweep and clear the streets and then return to normal garbage heaps after He leaves  shocked shocked. Why cant we sweep the streets and keep them clean 4 ourselves

3. we dont have electricity

4. we dont have running water

5. our roads are death traps

6. our schools are dilapidated

7. no good hospitals

8 no effective mass trans system

9. ineffective judicial system and police force

100. No law and order

etc etc the saga/list continues


yes its all the fault of whites and colonialism grin grin (dremoney is a genius to figure that out while chiling with law, order and social amenities in Jand)
Culture / Re: Men Don't Think African Culture Is The Best. They Like It Because It Favors Them by sage(m): 2:06am On Dec 12, 2008
@dremoney

Without resorting 2 personal insults let me ask you 2 questions (we don't even know each other and i don't know if you slaved to be in London, ive had a totally different experience and its been a very lovely experience in the States)

1. Do you think that the total development of a place is removed from the culture of the place? Do you think that the cultural practices of a place plays ANY part to play in the development?

2. If you hate a place where they drink, smoke, party, do drugs and fork around etc why don't you hate Nigeria? Nigerian men spend a lot of their time drinking pamy and beer, smoking, smoking igbo, and fork around too, even the married men. Do you just hate the fact that western women can do what Nigerian men do in Naija? Is that what youhave a problem with?


And a general question guys

A place that is culturally decadent is completely developed and lovely 2 stay

A place with "good culture" has dead bodies on the streets, people acting like animals, trash ridden environment, no value for life etc and no hope of change anytime soon.

Do you guys really think that our culture, mindset and mentality does not have anything to do with our beign regarded as the scum of the earth?

till we acknowledge the truth nothing will change. Lets keep decieving ourselves and see where it gets us.

Western Culture is 1000 times better than African culture. The proof is there for all to see.

Bogus Claim: people in Africa have better culture than westerners

Facts on ground: Africa is the worst continent in the world and the laughing stock of the world. People acting like animals all over the place. Infact the whole continent is a big safari.

So before you talk down Western Culture ask yourself these questions

How come we claim to "have grown up well" (whatever that means) and have 'culture' and the westerners--not so much but we are the most pathetic breed of humans on earth and We are like scum of the earth?

HOW IS IT THAT A CONTINENT FULL OF PEOPLE THAT GREW UP WELL IS CRAP WHILE CONTINENTS THAT HAVE DECADENT CULTURE IS WHERE WE ALL WANT TO BE.

We Africans are fools and shit will never change because we can't even tell ourselves the truth. Let us get to the level of Asia and Latin America b/ we start comparing ourselves with Westerners. What a joke we are angry

@ dremoney

u must be joking right? shocked shocked shocked

African culture has produced the worst continent that the world has ever seen.

Has it occured to you that Western culture is the reason why everything is good where you are.

We claim Africa has good culture but we are like ANIMALS. A continent that is at the bottom of the barrel in everything of use in the world

@ Dayo

Interesting march 4u guyz were lucky 2 pull it out. I still have my reservations about the Bosnian gu even though he scored yesterday.I wait till next season 2 see how he does 2 pass judgement.

On the topic of Hamsik

He is not the same as Totti, Kaka or Del Piero. These guyz can play as a Trequartista, a support striker and can also lead the line if need be. Hamsik is not that type of a player

Ive watched Hamsik regularly for a couple of seasons now and he is the same type of all round midfielders like Ballack, Lampard, Fabregas, Xavi etc. He is in that mold.

He is not a Trequartista

@ Dayo ur wrong on this one

Hamsik is a pure midfielder like Lampard not in the mold of Totti, Kaka etc

Napoli play a 3-5-2

Santacroce----Canavarro-----Rinuado/Aronica

Maggio------Blasi---------Gargano----------Vitale/Manini

Hamsik

Lavezzi------------Denis/Zalayeta

Ive never seen Hamsik play behind a single striker before

Anyways Napoli is one of the most exciting teams in da world. So much talent. Lavezzi, Denis, Hamsik, Gargano, Maggio and my favourite, the new Nesta Santacroce cheesy.
If they dont sell their players in 2 years they would become one of the teams to beat in Italy and Europe with Russoto coming up too

Watch out 4 Napoli, they might be in da champions league in 2-3 yrs time if any of the top 4 slip up

Meanwhile this year the top 4 would be Inter, Milan, Juve and Roma in dat order. Yeah Roma, coz they are gonna bounce back.
