Adazi Afor square

Investment opportunities in Adazi Nnukwu/Anambra State are enormous,but some of our people chose out ignorance to neglect that by exposing themselves to dangers in the North!. Some of the investment opportunities are Soap Making & Vegetable Oil refinery because of abundant Palm trees, others are Fish & Poultry Feeds,Aquaculture,Cattle Farms, Sand for building purposes,Schools,Business centres,Block Industry,Rice & Vegetable Fruit Farming,Basket Making,Palm Wine or Hot Drinks Factory,Fruit juice Industries,Flour Mills,Hospitals,Hotels etc.

St Joseph's school of Midwifery Adazi-nnukwu. Where iconic hands in midwifery are made.

Some years back a man set up a Pinepple Farm @ Ofe ofia Adazi Nnukwu near Akankpisi/Agukwu nri, it was a huge success then, but I don't know if he is still doing it now!. These are the type of investment needed badly in this Town!

I will be bring the pictures of Okurugbo/ Ndi Agu area of Adazi Nnukwu where a lot of beautiful Houses are coming up!. It is like the Adazi Nnukwu GRA!. The Adazi Girls Secondary School is also located there!.

School Buses donated by Anambra State govt to Bubendorff Secondary School Adazi Nnukwu!

Adazi Nnukwu is Very rich in Igbo customs & Traditions!

Smoked fish factory springs up in Anambra

Something great is happening in Anambra State, but it is not in Awka, the capital, or Onitsha, the bustling commercial city. A fish factory in Adazi Nnukwu, some 20 minutes’ drive from the seat of government, has raised the profile of both the community and the state, providing jobs for youths and putting hunger at bay in many families.

There is more. The factory has the capacity to save Southeast fish traders the trouble of sourcing their merchandise from such far-flung places as Maiduguri, capital of Borno State. And, thanks to the plant’s hygiene standards, fish connoisseurs can vouch for the health of what they eat.

Adazi Nnukwu, Anaocha Local Government Area of the state, has probably made history, hosting arguably the first quality smoked fish processing plant in the country.

It is the handiwork of a geologist turned farmer, Mr Emeka Martins Iloghalu.

Newsextra paid him a visit, discovering that many youths from the region will be taken off the streets as the facility grows.

The smoked fish are well packaged, most of which sourced from the same facility, although its owner says it needs more.

The company, Tee Martins Aquaculture, produces dry fish, which are free of insects and sand.

Iloghalu left his well-paying job at Shell and oil service firms overseas to return to the rustic village of Adazi-Nnukwu to engage in fish farming.

He reckons that his fish are unique.

He said: “Our model here is that we don’t sell life fish because we don’t even meet our market demand of dry fish, hence we are looking for co-operation to serve the Southeast market and beyond. Even at this moment we have not gone totally mechanical because we installed 160kg drier plant that dries wet fish weight per batch.

“We need resources and expertise; that’s why we are training people to take over but we need managers that we can trust and develop to ensure youths are engaged while we develop other areas. We are proposing to erect our new plant in a 33-ft structure, two-storey building vertical expansion. We are installing a 750kg drier to ensure that our customers are satisfied with quality dry fish well packaged.

“I encourage people to go into fish farming to enable us meet the demand as our own fish pond is not enough to supply our fish requirements. We buy from various fish ponds around to meet up, so if fish farmers increase we will be able to buy them and meet up demand’’.

Iloghalu’s passion for the business inspired his wife, a lawyer, Mrs Justina Iloghalu and their children Emmanuel, Deborah and Esther to understudy the head of the family. They aslo appear to have mastered virtually everything in the fish factory, especially the pond.

Iloghalu also encourages youths to engage in fish farming, saying one female fish can give birth to over 40,000 fish. He adds that with the availability of mobile fish ponds and incubating machines in addition to a ready market, Anambra youths will thrive in the business.

Iloghalu equally advocates the establishment of aquaculture clubs in schools and colleges as a means of promoting fish farming at a minimal cost using mobile fish ponds produced by his company.

“Mobile fish pond is a viable venture and I recommend it for schools and colleges through aquaculture clubs or catfish clubs because once you have experience and acquire the skills through the mobile fish pond, the fund will come and viable ventures will start.

“I can supply the equipment because it can be of great assistance in actualising the MDGs especially with the drilling of boreholes in schools and communities so water is no longer a problem. We can have fish labs and fish farms in schools since there is free water supply. Mobile fish pond can fit into any place and can be set up anywhere. There is no limitation and it can generate N180,000 after every four months with 250 fishes.

“People preparing for retirement and people thirsty to create employment can cue into the mobile fish pond because it is the best way to start preparing for expansion. It is age-friendly and less tasking. I can supply the equipment.

“My drier for now contains 150 fishes in a row in five chambers of 1kg each.”

On why he left his lucrative job, he said: “It is passion that is driving this because I left my job of $15,000 a month and others more than that to return to the village to promote fish farming because if I have this dry plant and fish ponds, I will engage Nigerians and, by that, I am adding value to my people. We have a facility with the bank and we are encouraged by that because we had expected that somebody will say we have not been in Anambra. If we have the expertise we will install our equipment.

“We are operating at about 30 per cent of our installed capacity. It is not bad but not cheery, so the more many engage in mobile fish farming , the better for us. We don’t have enough human resources and expertise but we are looking for them and I am re-strategising hard to share my knowledge with youths like me.

“This pond here can raise 25,000 fishes…in four months. We have the equipment for intensive system but we do between flow through system and intensive system. For fingerlings production we can produce 150,000 to 200,000 fingerlings in four to six weeks.

While in oil services, Iloghalu invented a smart way to interpret depositional environment using core samples. That caused a stir in the oil industry and he was invited to Spain to talk to oil decision makers and chiefs at an International conference. He did it with Shell, then Slumberger hired him, offering higher wages and took him to every continents except Australia.

His passion was in the operating system and the arrangement was to have a one and half-year patent but was not getting to Research centres as agreed. The job became a routine for him and he resigned to avoid being frustrated.

He said the “only logical thing was to invest at home” and he experimented hatching fish, raising them to table size, harvest and dry.

He has a special scheme for NYSC members to teach them to become successful fish farmer, even with mobile fish pond.

Igbo amaka,maka chukwu!

Great thread nwanna. Anambra its in a league of its own when compared to other states in Nigeria. Having travelled and lived in other regions both East, West and North I can confidently say what I've said. Adazi Nnukwu is representing wella.
Now, when some westerners erroneously assume that our saying that we want to visit our villages imply we want to go back to antiquity and abandoned lands, it is borne out of sheer ignorance. Many of them are only working with what holds sway in their own domain. This is what I mean. The settlement pattern between ndigbo and ndi-Yoruba is not the same. The settlement pattern among ndigbo is mainly of a villa kind with dispersed homes cascading in a well defined boundary. Just few of our communities had a compacted settlement that gives a sort of an urbane settlement. During my travels around Igboland, places I saw such closely knitted houses traditionally are in the Oratta(Owerri) area of Imo state and the Ika(Agbor)area of delta state. This is to say that compacted settlements among the majority of Ndigbo is a new thing. On coming to Yorubaland, the opposite is the case. Closely knitted houses which gave rise to an urban outlook was the norm. Most of their villages were isolated and thinly peopled and will always remain so because only few people hail from such places and with the recent rural-urban migration, they are the worst hit. Unlike in Igboland where villages are thickly populated and not in isolation but are tied to nearby patrilineally related villages to make up a community, those in Yorubaland are in isolation- each village to itself. As of today, a good number of those Igbo communities have taken the shape of townships with infrastructural improvements and social amenities in many of them. This is the reason why most Igbo people travel back home during the end of the year. Oh yes, some of them are still as rural as of old but the houses therein are of the modern type. So when next you as an Igbo man tells your Yoruba friend that you are travelling to the village, understand why he thinks you are going back to obscurity.
