They are welcomed to invest in Onitsha, build their houses and live peacefully with us. They should come and join hands with us and develop the place. The way we have joined hands to develop Lagos,Abuja, Kano etc.
In their wisdom, they prefer not not buy nor invest in the SE for whatever agenda they harbor. That is their loss.

Plenty of Ndi ofe now live in Onitsha. I don't know if they will begin to build houses in the long run. I know many tailors that relocated to Onitsha.Yoruba tailors are actually preferred by our people to make the traditional dress for them.

I agree with you that we should emphasize what unites us rather than what divides us.

We have suffered for too long in the hands of those who have taken advantage of our family quarrels to do us serious harm. We must not repeat the mistakes of our fore-fathers or will suffer again on the same mistake twice.

Yea that's Phyno..

Actually we must have quarrels as it's good to have in every healthy relationship.
So there is never going to be a time when we would not quarrel over something we don't really like.
The important thing is always giving room for resolution of conflicts and disagreements than being an extremist in our views.


He who has learned to disagree without being disagreeable has discovered the most valuable secret of a diplomat.

Still on Apga Rally at Awka!

Well they are not silly to move where they will make less money. Don't you think? I know three in Ogba area of Ikeja that have closed their shop and move to the east.
I'm sure there are more just know these because they make casual trad. wears for my family. They could also have moved to Aba, i just know the moved to the SE.

^^^I would imagine that since there aren't that many of them in the SE they would get more clientele than if they were in Lagos that's already saturated!

Anambra... Foward ever.

No matter how professional your work is as tailor pls dont go to challenge Aba tailors, they will make you look like an apprentice on his first week .

Dont try Aba tailors when your not Versace, Armani or D and G

Onitsha has more yoruba tailors than Igbo tailors.
The yoruba tailors are actually sewing cloth in big quantities for some traders who deals with traditional garment.
So in a yoruba tailors shop, you can count upto 10 men in a small shop.
Some of them work night and day to meet up their demand.
They can sew upto +50 cloths+trousers per night.

Obiano and the task of transforming Anambra state
The end may have come for the dismal look cities of Awka and Onitsha. Both cities suffered near total neglect in the past, and were almost given up for abandoned. Neither the administrative status of Awka nor the commercial strength of Onitsha could earn them gubernatorial attention. Past governments seemed obsessed with other aspects of governance to bother with their rustic state. An out of humour critic of those administrations once called Awka a bucolic town, mismanaged by a line of do-nothing governors who wished to change its looks by standing still.

The failure to transform both cities, though inexcusable, might be as a result of either of two things. One is the lack of political will to embark on a capital intensive venture such as building a new capital city. Two is that past governments were too conservative and blind to notice the unbefitting status of Awka as a state capital and the sprawling condition into which Onitsha has lapsed. Accordingly, the long neglect blotted the otherwise beautiful landscape, and rendered incomplete whatever achievements those governments posted. It is strange but true that Awka still contrasts brutally to the least developed state capital in Nigeria. For example, its rustic state very easily magnifies in juxtaposition to the beautifully laid out streets of Enugu while Onitsha is greatly diminished by the emerging attraction which Asaba has become in recent times. A visitor to Awka or Onitsha from either of the two adjoining state capitals would feel a whiffling air of rustic neglect on arrival. A certain columnist once described his journey from Enugu to Awka as a descent from light to darkness. All too often, the neglect questioned the Anambra spirit of enterprise, and pioneering streak, which has seen to her people being in the vanguard of developing cities outside of the State.

The decrepit infrastructure was not helped by the fractious nature of her politics. Needless to retell the dreary story here, but suffice it to say that it conspired with the failed infrastructure to rob the state a measure of respect in the comity of other states. It is important to mention that the lacuna in infrastructural development was not because the state could not stump up bills in transforming itself, but more for the lack of vision and political will by past governments to do so. The poor state of infrastructure inevitably encumbered development in other areas. In time, the condition conduced to criminal activities rather than stave it. The burgeoning commercial activities of Onitsha very easily exposed her to tidal surges in criminality. Awka, on its part, held no better promise as it lacked the enablers for transformation and stifled growth in social interaction. Both repelled rather than attracted visitors. Investors whose activities should have given impetus to genuine development, nibbled at the thought of coming to the state. Those who did refused to take up residence in it. Perhaps only fly-by-night contractors and wheeler-dealer businessmen could brave the odds. To that extent, even a particular class of her citizens prefers to work in Awka from the comfort of either Enugu or Asaba.
However, since no condition abides forever something fortunate has come swift upon the state. The Obiano government has, since debouching on the political stage, kept its nose to the grindstone to change the old order. Today Awka, the state capital, billows in dust of reconstruction. The decrepit infrastructure is now caving in to the menacing strides of the contractor’s bulldozers. By the time the dust settles, three flyovers at Arroma, Kwatta, and Amawbia bypass would stand firm to mark Awka distinctly out. This is a precursor to building an entirely new capital city in the ancient smithy town. The huge constructions (the flyovers), though a prerogative of the federal government, when completed, will achieve two things. First, it will decongest the town and allow for free flow of traffic that is fast forming a tailback at these junctions. Secondly, it will enliven Awka and make it attractive for residents. No longer will the state capital be passed unnoticed as was earlier the case. Already a body (Awka Capital Development Authority) has been constituted and charged with drawing up a befitting capital for the state. It was also instructed to be as eclectic as possible in harnessing ideas in order to give the state one of the best. Nothing could be more compensatory, given the wasted years.
In line with the transformation, an estate developer, Rockland Builders, has been commissioned to build over a thousand housing units for the state civil servants. This will help reduce exposure to risk by some of the civil servants who shuttle from Enugu and Asaba to work. A lot of renovation work is also going on at the State House in much the same way, as Onitsha is being renovated and lit up. The Upper Iweka/ Bridgehead area has since exploded in resplendent colours. What makes the Onitsha case most gratifying is that the transformation was not shabbily wrought. It first dealt with the foundation by routing criminals in the town. This has not only allowed for luxury of transformation, but also sane commercial activities and a good repose. Night life is gradually returning to the town just as parks, hitherto dens of robbers and alcoholics are being renovated and new ones built.
It may not be presumptuous to say that before four years of this administration Awka, and indeed the state, will be greatly transformed.

[size=15pt]The Foundation of the party secretariat laid!!!

The implication of this great day is that Ndigbo shall be able to meet and select our best, as our own leaders within Igboland.

No more forcing of thugs, agberos and common criminals hand picked by Igbo haters from Abuja on our people as leaders!

The great journey has just begun and Ndigbo shall get to the promised land in Jesus Name ! Amen!!!

Great change is coming to Alaigbo!!![/size]
