Transport Industry in Onitsha is Not left out of This Boom. The Anambra State policy of Not banning The Motor cycle mode of Transport popularly called OKADA is a master Stroke in helping to maintain a Very Low Unemployment level in The City! The Critic might think other wise.There are About Three Hundred Thousand Okadas in Onitsha! If Mr Peter Obi join The bandwagon and ban Them today like some other Governors, You will have Arround Over Half a Million People without Jobs and Many Families in Danger of Homelessness!

Onitsha, anambra and the whole of south east have being neglected for a long time. I want us to forget what have happened and look into the future. When jon commission aba power plant, even T A cannot stop the development of the city. Also the next Governor of anambra state will have to deliver even though he like it or not.

@op I love ur passion for Onitsha the city need serious government interventions. Onitsha have brought development to other towns like Obosi, Nkpor, Umuoji, Nwelle, Ogidi and Ogbunike with industries and markets which would have be sited in Onitsha due to lack of space in that city. I was amused the last time I visited Ogidi building material market the rate of development in that area gives me alot of joy. The expansion of the market and building of residential building by investors which have turn a big empty bushy land to a town. I dnt understand why our government is not generating huge some of money through IGR cus there is alot of markets and industries scatter in Anambra I pray the next govenor will look towards that aspect.

Bros take more pictures abeg.
A picture speaks louder than a thousand words.


The only thing i think Peter should learn from Fashola is that instead of employing 5000 teachers every week, who really will not teach kids anything because of the quality of training they got in the colleges of education. He should set up 2 or 3 landscaping teams to plant flowers and trees in open spaces and the major roads of Onitsha, Awka and Nnewi.

Fashola literally transformed Lagos by creating beautiful parks and planting trees & flowers! Being fair to Fashola, i think it is a legacy worthy of emulation by other states of Nigeria where creating a conducive environment isn't a priority to the residents.
the only difference is that lagos has enough money to budget for that while onitsha doesn't.....

The thing is that SE if you dnt have enough capital investment you will not make it because of capital intensive,places like north especially is easier to start with small amount as 300.000 naira and you will grow from there because of low competitiveness follow with low standard of living in that region, 300.000 naira in the east will not reach anywhere.

Not even enough for capital expenditure,at list you need 8 to 10 million naira minimum to start with in the east, if a business man is not careful by end of the yr his balance sheet will always result to minus.Only the strong survive in the east the ones that cnt cope with it end up in northern states and others... cool

Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State said the state is worth over N20 billion in investments in spite of the fact that on assumption of office he met an empty treasury.
Speaking at a forum organised by League of Anambra Professionals (LAP) tagged “Lets Rekindle the Anambra Spirit” in Awka recently, Obi disclosed that the laudable feat was achieved without borrowing from any institution or government just as he revealed that six South African companies have already acquired land at Anambra industrial area and would soon commence business.

Contrary to the belief that he has been on seat as governor for about eight years, Obi disclosed that though his mandate was restored in 2006, his government’s budget was first passed only in 2008, saying within this short period of about five years, he has been able to deliver real value to Anambra people.

“I did not meet any single functional factory when I assumed office as Anambra State governor. There was no Government House or Government Lodge. Anambra has no secretariat. This place we are ( referring to Women Development Centre) was burnt down, I rebuilt it. But today as at last week Friday (that is September 6) Anambra is worth over N20 billion in investment,“ he said
He said SABMiller Brewery in Onitsha is the fastest growing factory in the history of SABMiller group of South Africa is about to double its production capacity.

While explaining the challenges that Innoson went through before his vehicle manufacturing company took off, he called on Nigerians to embrace local made products noting that fake products is global trend.
Speaking further, Obi called on Anambra people in other states of the federation to join hands in developing the state by locating some of their investments in Anambra.

“Basic things have changed since I became governor. We call on all Anambra people wherever they are to join hands in making Anambra great. The state is good now but we want to take it from good to great. We have to seek ways to bring solution to the numerous challenges confronting our state. You can only add value if you come home. If you bring about 10 percent of your investment into Anambra state it would make a lot of difference,” he said.

He assured that government has provided enabling environment for businesses to thrive in the state, adding “We are building institutions. People should join hands to make the institutions work.

I Don't Think that is down to Money alone,But The willingness of The Government & The People of Onitsha to Imbibe the culture of Keeping The Environment Beautiful. First, It must Start with The Government & The People will Definitely follow! Money cannot Stop It! The Money Spend by Government & it's Officials Including The State House of Assembly on Themselves alone is too Much.They can Reduce some of it and use it to Beautify ONITSHA THE CITY OF INDUSTRIES! Get Onitsha Right and See a Great Anambra State and Great Nigeria!
Re: Onitsha Is Becoming A City Of Trade,Commerce & Industries? by investnow2013: 10:56am On Sep 23, 2013

The City of Onitsha as a Trade Mark or Trade Name or as an Advertisment Material is Worth about 2 Billion Dollars! This can be exploited for The greater Good of all! Some of us might find it difficult to understand,but if you think about it deeply, you will surely get what I mean by that! This is one of The Reasons I say that Onitsha is A CASH COW!
Re: Onitsha Is Becoming A City Of Trade,Commerce & Industries? by investnow2013: 10:06pm On Sep 23, 2013
Onitsha is expanding more than Government backed Cities! Onitsha is a City lacking Government Presence Over The Years.The Only Noticeable Government Presence is on The Area of Revenue; Tax Collection! More is expected of The Government even Though This Present Governor tried,but If we are Talking about Putting Onitsha as a World Class CITY OF BUSINESS! There must be Airport, Seaport, 24 Hour Electricity, Rail\ train Services,Sercurity, Clean Water Supply,Good & Dualized Roads,Street Lights, Good Housing,Universities,Good Hospitals etc.Every World Class City do have Their own University or Universities.Onitsha City University should be sited in New Heaven Okpoko as Part of it's Regeneration of that Place!

^^^I've said it!.....see how these bastards use top of the line contractors and bespoke materials when it comes to building something that affects them directly, but when it's something for the masses they go and cut corners and do the barest minimum they can get away with! The state secretariat for instance.......there's nothing even remotely appealing about that monstrosity of a building: it doesn't look cutting edge like something built in the 21st century; i bet it's got no lifts; and the finishing looks like something real local builders built in a hurry! Any good buildings are normally private or company owned!
