“I just want to say to all the members of Congress
you’ve been working hard. I wish I could give you all
trips to Hawaii but I figured that given our budget
crunch we can’t do that, but we’d bring Hawaii to
you.” Obama. Think about this and compare it with what a Nigerian politician would have done. does it mean that America is having more financial problem than Nigeria that it can even afford to move its law makers (real lawmakers) around within its territory (Hawaii)

Can someone tell this pathetic, ediotic, low self esteem, schizophrenic slowpoke with multiple IDs not to quote me again with out his real ID.

Stupid clown. You're not even shamed of yourself. Like I told you before, do us all a favor and end that your miserable life. You're an epidemic disease waiting to happen

One of the 3 Awka flyovers. This is the design of the one at Kwata junction!

Reconstruction and remodeling of the Amansea-Amawbia dual carriageway with 3 flyover bridges in Awka..

Willie is working..

This IDC consultants are getting plenty jobs in Anambra, I hope it does not belong to Mr. Obi whom we all know is synonymous with cutting corners in terms of quality of project- executions

I am not sure if it belongs to Obi but they are doing cutting edge and state of the art projects in Anambra!

Cuche: This IDC consultants are getting plenty jobs in Anambra, I hope it does not belong to Mr. Obi whom we all know is synonymous with cutting corners in terms of quality of project- executions

I believe Obiano will deliver on his promises because he comes across as a bridge builder, desirous of genuine followership. Not long ago he called for a sub -reconciliatory meeting of Anambra stakeholders pleading for brotherhood. Also during the elections, he had pleaded with a youth who cited that Obi did nothing for the youths throughout his tenure as his reason for not rooting for Apga, on twitter and subsequently he promised to look into the welfare of the youths. And true to that, all is set for the creation of database for unemployed youths in the State.

Kudos to Obiano,
Looks like the IDC new flyover in Awka will resemble the Nkpor flyover rather than the Upper Iweka flyover.
It is going to be built parallel to the Expressway to enable those moving from Enugu to Onitsha to use it in flying over Kwata junction. Unlike the Upper Iweka flyover,that flies over the Express. Either way, one hopes they do a high quality aesthetically pleasing job.
Lets watch and see.

Kwata is that junction by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! Its also that junction opposite Iyi-Agu estates leading to Queensuites..

Nnewi1stSon: Wow, Chino i'm really impressed @ the pace of work there, Unizik junction which used to be the worst part of Awka is receiving a facelift... I hope i'll be able to come to awka before i leave in sept... . Btw where's ''Kwata''? I know Aroma and Amawbia, buh ''Kwata''

This is the kind of news that gladdens my heart.

nice one from obiano. I see he has good intentions for the state. When we say peter obi did nothing in 8 years, people can now see what I mean with less than 1 year of obiano. Best believe if he continues like this and also increase the salaries of civil servants as he promised, he would definitely eclipse the popularity of Ngige in the state. Anambra people like performers

Nwanne kedu ije? Our new governor is yet another technocrat! As for Obi he has taken care of all our rural roads, health, education and kick-started industrialization etc. Obiano is now taking on the major urban infrastructures as designed by the UN-Habitat which was drawn up by Obi.

Government is a continuum, the good thing is that we have a government that believes in continuing with the existing projects and initiating new ones. It can only get better!

Below is one of such rural roads did by Peter Obi. This particular road is in Nimo. That was the same way all the communities benefited both on infrastructure, school structures, school buses, libraries, health centers etc..

Anambra adigo mma!

Spoken like a cowardly Yoruba monkey. I mention your handle cause you were here running your cowardly illiterate mouth like always, yes YOUR Orlando owoh Id. Like as if anyone doesnt know this id equally belongs to you ORLANDO OWOH. You make very freaking obvious dumbass. Then again, with braincells as low as yours I'm not surprised you still think you are following anyone despite the fact you gave yourself away multiple times. Ediotic fool. Anyway, when you get the balls you can log back to your orlando owoh and speak if you got some sh1t to say instead if cowardly hiding yourself like a pathetic waste excuse of a man. Pathetic!!!! A grownass man acting like a bitch on a freaking anonymous forum. They need to cut off your d1ck and give it to a dog to eat. We all can see you're nothing but a damn diseased pussy

backtosender: You can make Anambra greater, take care of your environment and educate your neighbors to do same. We have no other home but Anambra. Have a lovely week....

Obiano is essentially branding his image as the government of Anambra. This may be alright for now, but as an ideological entity, I believe the government needs to brand itself and show that, it, not Obiano, is working; to promote the trust, respect and obedience that comes with a fuctioning government. This is the reason why I want the state emblems to be finalised as quickly as possible so that they can go up on billboards such as this one, rather than Obiano's face. Similar to what they have in Cross rivers, Rivers and Lagos state.

Reporter, Onitsha



Women of Anambra State living in the United States of America under the aegis of Anambra State Association of Women in the United States of America (ASA-Women USA) have announced their intention to build a world class cancer centre in Awka.

During a dinner organized by the Anambra State government for them, their President, Dr. Uche Umeh, said they would partner with investors to fund the project as part of comprehensive plan to tackle the challenge of cancer and bring relief to sufferes.

Umeh also called for the calibration of the mammography machines at Amaku Teaching Hospital, Awka, and Onitsha General hospitals to facilitate easy screening of breast cancer.

According to her, during the just completed medical mission the group had visited seven towns and about 5,000 patients benefitted from their free medical services which she said focused on cancer screening, surgery and enlightenment to educate people on preventive measures, adding that women with lumps were taken to hospital for surgery.

In his speech, Governor Obiano praised the team and urged others to emulate it and channel their resources back to the state to identify with the new development articulated to launch the state on course of sustainable development.

Obiano explained that the unrelenting onslaught against criminals had created a conducive and enabling environment for investments and businesses to flourish.

He assured that the tempo of crime fighting would continue to increase throughout the life span of his administration.Meanwhile, the ASA Women USA last week opened a Women’s Health summit to educate women on cancer. The lead speaker, Professor Ifeoma Okoye, chair of Radiography Department of University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu, urged women to wake up and face the challenge of cancer instead of wallowing in superstition and fear.
