You are right to some extend, most of our towns are too chaotic and unclean.

I still don't know if our leaders don't travel to other countries that they do this type of wicked things in the name of providing infrastructure. Even small and poorer countries in Africa are doing better. Anambra and nnewi in particular can do something good or even better.

Abagworo:



I'm impressed with your wisdom but why do you believe that a snake will give birth to a leopard? If you take a look at Tinubu/Fashola which I view as the most successful continuity in Nigeria, you'll notice that Tinubu achieved an unequaled feat of running a government without federal allocation. How did he do it? He simply tapped on the potentials of Lagos and improved their IGR. In. The Southeast we have two States with such potential and that is Abia and Anambra. It is true that Abia today has the highest IGR in the Southeast but it remains a disgrace that both Obi and Orji could not tap into the potentials thereby leaving a successor to start afresh.

I am impressed with what Fashola/Tinubu and team has accomplished thus far, he is a great example of how his progress is recognized in the international community. His strategy has given comfort to investors, therefore as you pointed out bringing in capital and cash flow. If you know Obis family background you know how do I put it mildly, that you can only do what you know. I must admit that I don't know Chief willie family like I know Obis but what I do know from researching his background, he is a very diplomatic individual to rise in the ranks of a multi national Corporation like Texaco and then go and turn around Fidelity, means you know how to deal with the Nigerian mentality of gimme gimme, pleasing the masters but also progressing the bottom line. Working for a multinational company in Nigeria is so difficult because you have two different company cultures. For him to navigate those stormy conditions means he will please his master with losing sight of the bigger picture. If he changes our state around he has much more to gain in the international community, he will be a hot cake and a candidate for a super global position in finance. I know that Willy will surprise everyone if given the chance.

achi4u: The Nnewi I know is very rich individually. Nnewi is a well coming home/town to all Ndigbo,this means that those at Nnewi market are doing well in their trade.
You can find the best of mansions in all the 4 communities that makes up Nnewi(aka na ano Nnewi)
Nnewi host the third largest automobile motorcyle spare parts in the whole world. fact.
It is at Nnewi that a mere business man can single handedly built a church (Catholic to b precise) and throw the keys to the parish councils. lol
But the church must/may shm bear their names...churches like St. Cletus built by Chief. Cletus Ibeto and St. louis built by Chief Louis Cater.
Coming to development ; Nnewi town is too jam parked,there no space all, most building,shops,banks, etc are struggling with major road.
If Nnewi were to be developed to a world standard many buildings will have to go,which most ppl there will kick against.

The bitter truth is that erosion is ravaging the little land that was not been built up... which federal or state govt should look into and not just when they wanted to be( voted for they will remember that Nnewi exist.

Anaedo kwenu.

you are right about the erosion it is a big concern! Hey this town holds over 1.5 million people and I must tell you they are mostly concentrated in one area. Yes many of the building will have to be removed to modernized the city but with the right compensation, they will agree. The first order is to bring everyone together to plan the development of the city and explain to them the benefits. The community still has plenty plenty undeveloped land that is owned by the people. What I am worried about is the massive cutting of the trees we need them to balance the pollution from the factories and the factories need to be held accountable for the pollution. In the next 4 years Nnewi will develop into what we will be proud of, if we bring in Chief Willy, but like I stated earlier we must hold them fully accountable the leaders will be responsible when we are responsible.

if you know that road before chai I had a serious neck injury from that same road. The owner of the shoe knows where it pinches. We must crawl before we run, it will just get better, when we make them do better.

Nnewi Motherless Baby Home Needs All of Us If you see where these children are living We are trying our best this November we will build a kitchen, right now they cook on a pot over firewood. All the rich men in Nnewi sometimes act like the cult they belong does not allow them to help the less fortunate. But us that are not a part of the darkness must work hard to be the light!

Biko if you have nothing constructive to add refrain from speaking to me if the candidate you choose has done something productive for Nnewi share it!

ketoprofen: Am not from nnewi but Nnewi is d area of my alma mater.
Nnamdi Azikiwe college of Medicine, Nnewi campus.
.
Ladies n Gents, am in luv with this town and its ppl.
At least they listened to Ojukwu and decided to industrialise/commercialise their town instead of carrying d concept to kano, port harcourt, n Lagos .
The town that produced d ibeto, innoson, chikason, Cutix grps of companies, etc.
The town where the banks have deposits points busier dan d withdrawals; n most of d depositors carry money in ' Ghana-must -go' bags.
- the town is d first in Anambra abi SE sef to carry out Invitro-Fertilization.
.
The place with d most impressive looking mansions in d state, even in their most 'off town' areas.

.
That aside, who are those asking for road markings, and using d absence of road markings to underscore peter Obi?
Dem swear for una? Am not Obi's fan but How many non capital cities in naija has road markings?
.
@ Afam, am with Chino on this issue. Abagworo is more APC dan igbo and that is the worst form of 'Ofeke-ism' that ever existed.
What nonsense.
So, igbos cant talk on a normal platform again without party politics involved?
He could not even defend d kind Rochas d saviour sef.
And he has d guts to argue over d town i admire so much. *smh*
Aside lagos, no APC controlled town is more prosperous dan Nnewi

you have right to support any party of your choice, so abagworo should not be crucified for that. But i, myself i believe in personality not party. In my wonderful opinion, i think Ngige is the best candidate since soludo is no longer in the contest. I hope to see when anambra will be like hamburg city of germany with nnewi being the industrial power-house. How nnewi people are industralising their home of origin is something of emulation, i think orlu people, abiriba, nkanu and even ishiagu should do like such.

Chiemeka orizu: Well I was in nnewi(my home town) yesterday....I was outrightly astonished@the level of development I saw. Gov obi is really trying,though I am not his fan. So proud to be from this part of anambra state...nnewi

yes, nnewi is really the pride of East when it comes to individual riches/wealth.... Without nnewi, anambra would have....... Yes, you understand what i mean.

This is not d first tym Abagworo is bringing APC into igbo issues and he usu does so to spite anambra.
Is dat wat Apc is all abt? War for d igbo nation.
We have been living in peace in igboland even though we had opposition parties -pdp n apga. All SE govs are in good terms with each oda but rochas is making enemies with all d odas,
d prob we have with him is not that he is in apc but he behaves d way abagworo does-being more apc dan igbo.
Rochas doesnt attend meetings of igboland tnz again, he, ngige n oda apc ppl werent there during d opening of enugu intl airport. What were they thinking?
That its a pdp airport and not an igbo airport again? And sb is here rubbing apc to my face.
I si mu na ha bu our progress n'obi.
.
That aside, i also wish that other areas of igboland will replicate Aba, onitsha n nnewi , since d same igbos are ticking d clock in other states.
If we did it in nnewi/aba, we can do it in oda areas of igboland to show
nigeria dat SE was landlocked but its ingenuity was not locked up too.
Our politicians need to put this in their agenda, in a collective fashion.
Good morning.

Contrary to your belief, I'm not an APC supporter. Maybe you've been biased in your views. When Soludo joined APGA and people thought he would get the ticket, didn't you notice how me, other Igbos and even non-Igbos were happy for Anambra? Its still all over Nairaland for you to see. I've been a critic of Peter Obi and I also am not in support of him imposing a successor when his own track record is abysmal. I praise Rochas because I've seen sudden changes which if Peter Obi had done in Anambra or Orji in Abia, the levels would have been different. I'm in support of any positive change or impact on the masses and not party. Ngige will definitely make more impact than Obiano who will be slow and dishing out cash to Churches, schools and village heads as dividends of democracy. Doesn't Nnewi deserve a road like this?

please abagworo which new road is that?

That's in Port-Harcourt. Its the kind of road we need in all parts of Nigeria and not all those white and black painted roads that disgust me.

Please, abeg no vex, which road exactly is this in Port Harcourt? Because it is definitely NOT ABA road!

I think Obi and Orji are the two Governors in the South East with the most 'local' mindset of all.....they don't seem to give a fuc/k about modernizing their cities and making them 21st century compliant! When one talks now, their cheerleaders (esp' Obis own) will tell you that they're not interested in planting flowers and greenery, but that they're laying solid foundations for the next in-coming gov't.....and this is after 6 to 8 years as Governor!

Since they claim to be about more than just 'flower planting', ask them to show you the well equipped schools/universities, hospitals, world-class mass transportation system, intra-city roads (in cities like Onitsha, Nnewi, Awka and Aba), water works, respectable monthly IGR that reflects the states status as one of the nations commercial/industrial hubs, world-class hotels, and multi-national industries attracted since assumption of office (that the sitting Governor has no shares in)......ask them to show you these and they're left with a dumb look on their faces!

Imagine, pics were taken of Nnewi, and this is what we can term the best of the best to show to the world? Is it too much to ask that -after 8 years as Governor- we should expect to see nice intra-city streets......well swept, with street lights, road markings and sidewalks (after all, this is what a LG is meant to do, and Obi has been in charge of LG funds for the entire duration of his tenure)?

For as long as we accept this rubbish from all these criminals, shysters, conmen and visionless twerps forming as man-of-the-people , we should expect to be derided and mocked by others!

my brother your point is straight forward, i'm not against anybody criticising T.A orji because he's living 'below' or will i say' without' the expectation of people of Abia. But if it's what i'm seeing in anambra(ie whenever i go to the state), T.A orji is far better( the only dual carriage road obi built in awka is zik avenue while non is in nnewi and onitsha, but i heard he want to dualise upper iweka which i dont know if he has done) because he dualised many umuahia city roads like missionhill, libray and akanu ibiam road, bende road, new secretariate by-pass, aba road, built many roads in umuahia, built 3 ultra modern markets, built new 2 complex 5storey secretariats and another one which will be 12storey building is ongoing and they have reached the 6th floor with the skeletal work, equiped ABSU and built new lecture blocks atleast ABSU is still one of the best state university in W.Africa, built many hospital and teaching hospital at roadside in umuopara going to owerri, built many schools both primary and secondary but not like the ones in imo state just classroom blocks, distributed up 1000 taxis to youths but we termed that one compansation to his supporters but it was free of charge, dualised aba/owerri road and built garden at osisioma junction in aba, built many rural roads that's why Abia state has no problem with rural roads, he's now beautifying aba/ph express road with pedestrain bridges in every 10poles though i dont support the idea, he attracted many modern hotel in umuahia like biena aires, vera roy, de helson, eastern comfort etc, and in Aba like benidol, luxery city towels though Aba has many hotel before now because of Abiriba people who invest more in hotel, he also install street lights in umuahia, building new ultra-modern government house, attracted a very modern estate (adedebu housing estate), attracted shoprite and this new modern mall that's attracting peoples attention they want to build in aba, built catholic church for MOUAU students though federal university, he signed agreement with akwa-ibom state govt to dualise Aba/ikot-ekpene road. We dont have problem with T.A orji in area of umuahia and rural roads but the problem is Aba, he's not doing well in Aba, building road while he knows that aba drainage system needs to be revived. Because of this many roads he built in Aba did last just like in faulks road, ukwu mango, eziukwu road etc. But recently he started work in Aba just like peter obi and he's now working to revive Aba city drainage so that he can make Aba one of cleanest city in nigeria since this big mall is coming to Aba, though ASEPA is trying before now atleast umuahia is one of the neatest capital city in nigeria while you hardly see any heaps of refuse in Aba, and they have designated places they dropped their bucket while their men are always at work. Yes! Another problem we have with T.A orji in Aba is that he has never built any road in across express while the place is fast developing, people are building 5storey, 4, 3, 2 and 1 without no single road and major people doing business in ariaria market reside in these places like abayi-ariaria, umuode, umuocheala, umuojima, umuocha, niger-stone etc. But he's doing well in oil producing areas of like the ukwa west, east and obingwa.

The reason why I feel disappointed in both Orji's(Kalu and Theodore) is that Aba would have easily been one of the most beautiful cities in Nigeria because of its excellent symmetrical planning and the good houses well lined. All that is needed is just good roads, drainage, walkways and markings. Looking at the pictures below, you'll get an impression of my dream. The 1st one is London while the last 2 are Aba which could easily have been like London if the Government did the proper thing and individuals repainted their houses.

This is Mgbemena street, Awada and why can't it be like picture2 which is also a street in London? Places like Uyo, Calabar and even Port-Harcourt have good roads but still lack houses but all that is needed in Aba, Onitsha or Nnewi is just good roads and repainting of houses.

How is Obi's performance abysmal? Atimes I think you need a brain. Since when has painting roads built by previous govt became an achievement? Obi has not limited development to the major cities alone. The entire state is witnessing the development from Health to Education to rural development, employment generation/industrialization etc. I think if there is any state that has been poorly managed since 1999 it is imo state. I remember ohakin took loan of over 30billion wasted it in the guise of planting grass and now Okorocha can and borrowed another 70 billion. Now how do he reconcile all these with the shabbiness we are seeing on the ground?

TRASH!


Nwokem I think your complex is getting out of hand. How on earth do you compare any person at all with TA Orji if not the devil himself? When last did you go to Anambra to know how many dualized roads in Anambra cities? Is there any decent place in the entire Abia state? Of course the last we checked Abia state is not part of Nigeria because of dirt, zero infrastructure, underdevelopment etc. I don't need to respond much to you but if you push me I will post pictures of entire Abia state for all and sundry to see if Abia state is not the worst state in Nigeria in terms of infrastructures, health, education and general development.

Is it too much to ask that -after 8 years as Governor- we should expect to see nice intra-city streets......well swept, with street lights, road markings and sidewalks (after all, this is what a LG is meant to do, and Obi has been in charge of LG funds for the entire duration of his tenure)?

For as long as we accept this rubbish from all these criminals, shysters, conmen and visionless twerps forming as man-of-the-people , we should expect to be derided and mocked by others!

You have made some good points but if there is any state that needs surgical operation it is Abia state. However am not holding brief for Obi but he has done so much in infrastructure, education, health, employment generation through attraction of major investors to the state, but more needs to be done to take Anambra to where it should be as the state that produced the best and brightest scholars.

Abagworo: This is Mgbemena street, Awada and why can't it be like picture2 which is also a street in London? Places like Uyo, Calabar and even Port-Harcourt have good roads but still lack houses but all that is needed in Aba, Onitsha or Nnewi is just good roads and repainting of houses.

Save your bitterness! Onitsha at the moment has good roads, street lights now with decent neat streets. We all should put hands together and help other non performing state.

This is one of the completed roads and flyover in Onitsha.

Obi does not work roads aimlessly. He did these roads inside of Onitsha Industrial Harbour for multinational companies that are springing up there.

biafranqueen: Onitsha was the big market back in the days but the Nnewi people were the ones supplying the market with the industries.

not true,everbody were involved in making onitsha what it is today even hausa people and other tribes
