bashr8: elrufai is a dummy and yes he insulted the igbo race by stupidly constructing such mischevous write up , imagine if a non non nigerian planing to come and invest in anambra reads his devilsh write up the person will automatically assume anambra is the worst place to be in nigeria and africa and u tell me its not an insult to igbo race, he should occupy himself with finding solutions for the killing and bombings going on in the north.

Nightshift: According to available statistics,Anambra state has not been producing more undergraduates than Enugu or Imo states.There aren't enough quality schools in the state like in the above mentioned two states.Last year,more students from Enugu state,for instance,gained admission to Nigerian universities than their Anambra counterparts.No emotions dude,the facts are there!The state can also be said to be too rough for normal academic work. You want to argue against those facts?

mimifonwon:

see your mentality so you equate development with industries, i feel sorry for you, but dont sleep on cross river, they have some major investors coming to build something great. ANd that is all i have to say for now.

bashr8: the only thing in calabar is the beauty just like enugu. learn to differentiate between a tourist destination and an industrial city. good for them so are major forein investors investin in anabra ,besides we dont wait for people to come and invest we invest on ourselves just as we have built an oil refinary industry , vehicle manufacturing plant, motorcycle manufacturing plants, private universities ,transport companies ,onitsha main market the list is endless discussion are on the way between big shots in anambra to build an airport and another 3rd onitsha bridge plus a major south east airline. kepp wishing anambra to be a failed styate it will only be one in ur dreams.

bashr8: we are saying the same thing, el rufai is lying and peter obi is being sentimental about it because he knows it is political to give ACN an edge and yes peter obi needs to do more but no sane person will stand and let that aboki from a war thorn region assasinate the image and hard work of anambrains residents. if u see nothing wrong with calling a state the worst place to do buisnees then u dont know the power of the media.

mimifonwon:



oh thanks, looks like my dream came true because anambra is a failure,and people like you living in fantasy world is helping it down further. kwasiaa paa!!

manny4life:


Gr8, I guess we're saying the same thing after all. Now let Mr. Obi quit being sentimental about it and use a "Triple WHAMMY" power of the media against him.

bashr8: i have always suspected your a troll , apart from lagos ,ph and maybe abuja can you point out any other state that have more buiness than anambra and abia. maybe unfriendly for federal government to do buisness and ignoramus like u that swallow every trash dished out to it.

Mr. Globe:
Bashr is putting enugu up against anambra when peter obi a serving governor lives in Enugu and shuttles daily to his looted homes in Abuja! What a fool these people are. Awka is not even liveable, onitsha is pathetic, Nnewi is an eyesore so tell me how El Rufai is wrong if you are not being silly. If anything, peter obi should be impeached!
Update: eVen bashr8 lives in enugu? What an irony

You must be sniffing something dude. I schooled in Unizik Awka, when last year I went to pickup my transcript I was overwhelmed by the level of development both by private and public sectors. Awka has some of the best architecture when it comes to edifices; a sight at Udoka and Abuja estates even Ngozika estate will prove my point. Even GRA Awka is another classy district. Besides that Awka is an emerging hospitality city with beautiful hotels and relaxation spots springing up everywhere even surpassing living houses. The town is serene, quiet and live-able going by the class of its enlightened residents. The only problem problem I identified is the Onitsha/Awka expressway which is being fixed as I write this piece, the reconstruction starts from Onitsha head bridge to Awka end of the road. The same expressway is the problem of Onitsha, which when completed everything will fall in place and beauty of the cities will show itself. Nnewi is the Japan of Africa, with the highest concentration of industries ranging from the world class motor company to Cutix Electric Cable to Motor Battery, etc.

Anambra has more elites than all the states of the federation put together, so all of them may not be living in the state at the same time because of its population which is the highest in the SE. From Imo to Abia to Ogun to Sokoto to Delta, tell me how many of its notable citizens are living in it? So Anambra is not an exception even though Anambra is doing better than all those states in that regard since we have more population of both citizens and outsiders living within its boundaries

see this anu ohia oooh, if you must know am from ogun state, but my mom is from abia state, yes abia needs work also and i will say it, the governor is as horrible as anambra's- they all except imoke and maybe rochas- thieves and are not helping their people advance. Rather they point fingers at outsiders. My dear go do something better, am off to play soccer. ngwa nno nke oma!!!

Abagworo: [s]I feel bad when my Igbo brothers and other Nigerians fail to see things from real point of view. I am from Imo and I have said it times without number that we are over-populated. Many people can no longer inherit a plot of land in their village because land is finished. How then can we farm? I've once said that the hope of Imo and Anambra in agriculture lies in the Niger basin between Ogbaru down to Ihiala for Anambra and the Anam area. The Egbema and Ohaji area in Imo. Any Government that is serious will develop agriculture in these selected areas of the States.

We remain the only States in Nigeria where our population outside the States is twice those still living in the States. That is to say that there should be more than 8million Anambrians living outside Anambra while only 4million live in the State.[/s]

Fooool so your coming from the most backward state of yoroobaland. You should be more concerned about your dirty and backward infested ogon state than dabbling into issues that is above you- efi hausa

one.east:



Did you mention enugu state? What is the contribution of enugu state to the economic development of SE? Education enugu state got zero, they can only be compared to such states as Zamfara, Gombe when it comes to education.

Anambra is in the class of its own; no state competes with it in all ramification of human development index. The only state that is little above it in education is imo. Outside that Anambra has got the best and brightest brains and mind Nigeria can boost of at least today.

Nightshift: Dude,The Coal City State have better and more schools than Anambra state at the moment.Can you compare schools in Onitsha/Nnewi to the ones at Enugu/Nsukka? The difference is crystal clear. People from Anambra state acquired those academic laurels which they boast of in the 70s and 80s. But since 1990 the dynamic has been changing. I bet you still think that Enugu state is a backward "Wawa State"?They are making incredible progress there.Besides, Enugu is politically more matured than Anambra state. Remember that Mr. Roy Umenyi and Chief Augustine Ezenwa,from areas in the present Anambra state were deputies to Jim and Onoh during the old Anambra state era.You can ask Mr.Ifeanyichukwu Enemchukwu, the then house speaker,what he knows about Enugu peoples political maturity. On the other hand,ofu ka anyi bu,dalu!

Mr man your talking trash. Who made Onoh and Nwobodo? If not the great Zik an Anambran? Enugu state remains backward when it come to education and intellectual. There is only two states in SE that are the epitome of education- Anambra and Imo; go figure. Its the bitter truth. Enugu can compete with the likes of Ebonyi, Taraba, Jigawa and co. when it comes to schools, education and number of graduates churned out.

bashr8: dont mind her she don run . let them keep declaring their states so we can keep shaming them. its a pity our fellow igbos dont even realise what is happening. where was elrufai and buhari when the federal government made sure the south east is the only region with no single federal government investment, lowest allocation and least number of states hell even common bridge is taking them decades to consider and when we work hard and build investments for ourselves and even better than theirs they run all around the media writing trash making sure they paint the region a no go area even when their are war thorn regions. its simeple logic if anambra goes down the whole southeast will go with it.

Gbawe:

My sister, Obi has shown himself to be a character ready to hypocritically whip up sentiments of ethnic bigotry against others and this latest antic should not surprise well-informed political observers. Indeed, this hypocritical attitude of Obi is actually prevalent on Nairaland and it is nauseating. Everyone wants to sit in judgement and condemnation of the SW and its administrators on 50 threads per day yet they can never handle criticism of their administrators without barking about "ethnic plots/hatred". It is self-delusion and shameless hypocrisy 101.

Unemployment rate in Anambra is among the highest in the South-east zone, at 21.3 per cent, it is higher than the national average of 21.1 per cent. Imo’s unemployment rate is 29.9 per cent and Enugu is 15 per cent. The state has tried to reduce unemployment through its Anambra Integrated Development Strategy (ANIDS) and the Anambra Youth Reorientation and Empowerment Program (ANSYREP), but the problem with these programmes is that they contribute very little to the production base of the state.

The incidence of poverty in the state is very high – actually disappointing. The South-east has a food poor incidence of 41.0 per cent of which 60.9 per cent is absolutely poor, while 66.5 per cent is relatively poor and 56.8 per cent live under a dollar a day. Anambra has a poverty index of 22.8 per cent, the third highest in the zone, and shares the sixth lowest position in Nigeria with Rivers State which also has 22.8 per cent. About 47.6 per cent of the state’s population is core poor, 45.0 per cent is moderately poor and only 7.4 per cent of the state’s population is classified as none poor. Income inequality as measured by changes in Gini co-efficient between 2003 and 2010 increased slightly by 7.6 per cent as against 18.1 per cent for Ebonyi and Enugu States 7.5 per cent increase.

I beg sharap there, "where was rufai and buhari...blah blah" - the question you should be asking was where were your eastern leaders and why did they sale your pride, your allocations for their own personal benefits. When you need someone to blame, start by looking in the mirror and your igbo leaders, because they are the cause of your problems. If they didnt fold their hands and answer "yes sah- what eva you can give us we will take, as long as you oil my hand fest, if you know wharra i mean"(in igbo accent)...Mtcheww.. chetawa kwa egbe bere ugo bere, nke si ibe ya ebena nku kwaa ya na ijiri oso agbakwuru ogu amaghi na ogu bu onwu, - becareful how you defend things you dont know much about oo..
